The restaurant, which closed during the Circuit Breaker period from Apr. 7 to Jun. 1, was initially slated to reopen on Aug. 1, 8world News reported.

However, the closure turned out to be permanent.

30 employees affected

30 employees are affected by the closure of the restaurant.

Management will also be seeking out other employment or training opportunities for the affected employees.
