Hasbrouck Heights NJ, Two New Jersey Houlihan’s restaurants abruptly closed their doors Sunday.The Hasbrouck Heights and Woodbridge locations have closed, while eight others remain open.
According to sources the chain plans to keep the other New Jersey locations open. Previously the chain had closed two other restaurants in Weehawken and Lawrenceville blaming high rent and increased operating costs for the closure.
The bar and restaurant chain had filed for bankruptcy in November.
Effective January 1, 2020, the New Jersey minimum wage is $11.00 per hour for most workers and critics of the wage increase have constantly argued that many restaurants will close or automate due to increased operating costs . Other suggest the New Jersey’s harsh anti-business climate will continue to take it toll.
This was a good place….
