KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Just a day after a popular Tex-Mex chain’s Country Club Plaza location was packed with diners, guests who called in were greeted with a final message.
On Sunday, June 9, locked doors greeted potential customers of Kansas City’s Chuy’s restaurant, located at 209 W. 46th Terrace on Country Club Plaza. Those who wished to order ahead were greeted with another message.
“Thank you for calling Chuy’s Kansas City located at Country Club Plaza. We have permanently closed this location and apologize for any inconvenience,” an automated voice told callers. “We appreciate all of our customers and their loyalty to this Chuy’s for so many years.”
Signage posted to the restaurant’s door on Sunday evening perpetuated the message.
In June 2023, Chuy’s to X, what was then Twitter, after significant backlash for the closure of the chain’s Chicago restaurants. The company has yet to make any statement about the Kansas City location.
Employees found at the Country Club Plaza location told reporters they were legally unable to speak about the situation.
No further information has been made available, however, it seems as if the restaurant locked up and shuttered its doors overnight. KCTV5 News has reached out to Chuy Holdings, Inc. but has yet to hear back.
