I don’t think so, more likely just a bit of a sprucing up. I say this because their website is still live (“OPEN FRIDAY & SATURDAY 9:00 PM DOORS”), their phone works (though it went to voicemail when I called), they posted to their Instagram and Facebook, a few days ago.
So I’m guessing they’re just going with a new paint job. Stay tuned.
