Chrissie Hynde has closed the vegetarian restaurant she opened approximately four years ago in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, The Vegiterranean.
The singer posted a farewell message on the restaurant’s Facebook page.
“It’s is with great regret that The VegiTerranean in downtown Akron has closed it doors for the last time,” Hynde wrote.
“This has been a labor of love for us for the last four years. We tried everything we could to keep the restaurant going but unfortunately due to the current economic climate this has not been possible.”
“I’d like to THANK everybody who helped me fulfill my dream. I discovered that Vegan cuisine in Ohio has become more appreciated than I imagined. We were voted among the top 5 Vegan restaurants in America by Business Week.”
“Of course my Chef Scot Jones is responsible for that, with the help of Tal Ronnen, the man who taught him how to translate his delicious recipes into non meat versions. Last but not least I’d like to thank our management, amazing staff and everyone of you who dined with us at The VegiTerranean.”
According to Hynde’s chef Scot Jones, there are plans for he and Hynde to relocate to California and partner with vegan chef Tal Ronnen for a restaurant with a similar concept.
“It won’t be called VegiTerranean. It will be a concept like this, but bigger and better,” Jones said.
