Two popular local eateries will be closing, one possibly permanently, the other potential for one year. Each has its unique reasons for closing, but both, are a trending pattern of challenges to the restaurant industry in general. Both ma and pa places and national restaurants alike are feeling the quasi-post-pandemic troubles due to changes in lifestyle, rising food costs, low inventory, supply demands, and worker shortages. Topp Hat’s Kickin’ Chicken will be closing for at least one year as the result of family health issues and Barbs Country Kitchen because of what is currently hurting the hospitality industry in general. Both businesses were always visibly busy.
