Pomona Pete's Closes Permanently: Report

FARMINGTON, CT — Pomona Pete's, a restaurant in Farmington's Unionville neighborhood that served comfort food, has closed, its owners told the Hartford Courant.

On April 2, the restaurant announced on Facebook that it would close for the month of April. But owner Joe Sweeney told the Courant on Tuesday that he and his wife, Joy, have closed it permanently.

"At some point you're spending $1.01 to make a dollar. You got to be able to pay your bills," Sweeney told the Courant. "We couldn't hold on any longer."
