According to NBC Connecticut's article "Hops Not Hopping Anymore," Hops Restaurant and Brewery shut down after 10 years of business. Last Sunday was the business' last open day and closed shop after the doors shut for the night. Located in Newington on the Turnpike, a few friends of mine ranted and raved about Hops and I had just heard it closed.
Joe Piraneo, writer of the article, stated that "company officials and the local manager have not elaborated on the cause for the closure," and that calls have not been returned to NBC Connecticut concerning the regional manager. Employees had a short notice of the closure and sadly, Hops isn't the only place that has been closing. According to the article, Applebees closed as well, and Blockbuster is going to be closing shortly as well.
The reason I wanted to write about this is for the future of the Turnpike. Not to sound like a sap, but it's terrible to see businesses being closed because of recession reasons, I'm assuming, especially when so many people enjoy it. Just tonight at work people were talking about going to Hops to eat for our semi-annual dinner for my job, but that dream has been shot down. Hopefully too many other businesses don't meet the same fate.
