Both local Jason’s Deli locations closed their doors Sunday, according to a spokesman for the restaurant chain.
“It’s sad. There were 85 employees and a lot of loyal customers,†said Dan Helsman, a company spokesman. “We had been working with (the franchisee) for a while to avoid closure.â€
Helsman said the local franchisee, Delwest, Inc., had run into irreparable financial problems with several organizations, including the Internal Revenue Service.
