KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ollie’s Local is the latest Kansas City establishment to shutter its doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Martini Corner restaurant announced the closure in a Facebook post on Friday.
“With anger, shock and fierce disappointment, Ollie's Local has closed its doors forever,” the post read. “It's been a stinker of a year, but never suspected we wouldn't survive it. We promise you, we tried. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we worked to weather unforeseen disasters, it turns out we weren't prepared enough to endure the twin torpedos of greed and ego.”
The owners also thanked patrons who “thought of Ollie’s as a little extension of home,” according to the post.
Ollie’s Local had been open for five years.
