“Dear PoPville,
I had a brunch reservation for this Saturday, October 17th but received a call yesterday (Monday) from the restaurant saying they were cancelling my reservation because they were permanently closing the business. I haven’t seen anything on their socials but have you heard anything?”
They are apparently no longer taking reservations at all:
Multiple phone call attempts to Easy Company went unanswered yesterday and today.
Google currently has them listed as permanently closed: (more…)
