On Monday, the restaurant̵[ads1]7;s owner, Joanna Sikiotis, told Channel 9 that staffing, a decline in business and the recent death of her husband led to her decision to close.
“To tell you the truth, it’s not in me anymore,” Sikiotis said. “I just want to go home.”
However, Sikiotis hinted that customers may not have seen the last of her.
“I don’t know what the future holds. I still have the name. I still have the chili recipe, and you never know. I’ll keep the site open, so you might hear from us.”
The restaurant posted the news on social media, thanking its loyal customers for their years of support.
“We would like to thank our loyal customers for these wonderful 97 years and also for the love and support you have given us through our recent loss. We will always remember your smiles, hugs and laughter; you will remain in our hearts like family. Thank you do you want!”
Green’s Lunch will close its doors permanently on Wednesday 28 June.
