Elkhart Fazoli's closed permanently

ELKHART, Ind. -- After several reports on social media of the sudden closure of Fazoli's in Elkhart, ABC57 News verified the closure Friday afternoon when our crew went to the business and found signs taken down and a closure notice on the door.

ABC57 initially reached out to the location through their phone number and found it to still be active, although when you try to speak with a store member, it goes straight to voicemail.

The closure notice reads, "We regret to announce that Fazoli's in Elkhart is permanently closed. We want to thank our guests and our community for your business. Please visit us at 317 West McKinley Mishawaka, IN 46545."

There's currently no information why the restaurant closed.

"We are so thankful for all of our loyal guests who frequented our Elkhart, Indiana location over the years," said a spokesperson for FAT Brands, owners of Fazoli's. "The local operator is still very much committed to Fazoli’s and will be focused on their over 60 Fazolis’ locations in the surrounding area. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you at our nearby Mishawaka and South Bend locations."
