Almost a year and a half after closing its St. Elmo location, Mojo Burrito has announced on its social media pages that it will not be reopening its Red Bank store.
The Red Bank location had been closed for several weeks before this latest announcement. A post on the restaurant’s Instagram page said the temporary closure was due to a broken water heater and other complications related to the age of the building.
Owner Eve Williams had kept that location open after closing the St. Elmo store in January 2021 after 19 years of serving up burritos, nachos and other Tex-Mex items there. She closed the Ooltewah location the year prior, citing difficulties in finding staff as the reasons for both closings.
On Friday, she posted, “My (heart) is full with gratitude, appreciation and love to all who have supported Mojo Burrito and worked alongside me for the past 20 years. THANK YOU. What a wonderful experience this has been.
“After taking some much-needed time to think, I have chosen not to reopen.
