In a surprising twist for Miami Beach locals, TGI Friday’s has closed its doors after three decades of serving the community. The popular dining hotspot, known for its laid-back vibe and signature dishes, officially shut down as of October 24, leaving patrons with limited options nearby.
Sudden Closure Disappoints Workers and Customers Alike
The announcement of the closure came without much fanfare. A Reddit post revealed that the only notice given was a simple sheet of paper taped to the restaurant’s front door, stating that the location was “temporarily closed.” This abrupt move has left both customers and employees frustrated.
“It’s completely unfair for all the workers there with the holidays around the corner,” wrote the Reddit user who initially reported the closure. Over 30 staff members have found themselves unexpectedly out of work just before the busy holiday season.
Last Remaining TGI Friday’s in the Area Now at the Airport
For loyal patrons, the only nearby TGI Friday’s option is now at Miami International Airport—a less convenient spot for local diners accustomed to popping in at the iconic Miami Beach location.
