Maximo’s on Broad is closing June 29th.
“There’s not enough business to sustain us,” says Amy Zuniga, who owns the restaurant at 2617 Broad Avenue with her husband, Julio. “And we’ve been short staffed and can’t find anyone. We can’t keep going, unfortunately.”
They’ve had trouble keeping staff for some time. They hire one person and then they quit and they have to hire another one, she says. “We can’t pay what corporate jobs pay, so they go to corporate jobs.
“We’ve been trying to hang in there for awhile, but it’s just gotten to this point where there’s only so much hanging on we can do.”
But, she adds, “We’d love people to come visit one last time. And people who’ve never been here, they should come check us out.”
A letter sent to their regulars states: “With our deepest gratitude, we want to thank you for all the support you’ve given us over the years. We could not have made it this long without your continued support. As the saying goes, ‘All good things must come to an end.’ We have sadly made the decision to close at the end of this month. Our last day of business will be June 29th. We would love to see you one last time before we go. Cheers!
“Sincerely, Amy and Julio Zuniga, and staff.”
