Popular Restaurant Abruptly Closes In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub’s abruptly closed three locations in Connecticut this week, including the restaurant in Stratford, according to multiple reports.

The Connecticut Post reports representatives confirmed that Ninety Nine had closed its restaurants in Cromwell, Groton and Stratford on Monday, Nov. 28.

Employees at the Groton location told the New London Day that management also found out about the closure on Monday. One longtime employee said she found out about the closure from a voicemail, The Day reported.

The company said Wednesday that it was in the process of transferring employees to other restaurant locations in Connecticut or “offering them severance packages,” according to the Connecticut Post.

The Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub is a Massachusetts-based family friendly restaurant chain that prides itself in treating people right, according to its website.

“Our founder, Charlie Doe, had an idea to create a restaurant that was more than a place that served great food,” a post on the website reads. “Charlie wanted to give locals a place where they’d always feel at home. A place where they could get no-nonsense food at down-to-earth prices, and where they’d be treated right by people who had a passion to serve.

“The culture at the Ninety Nine Restaurants was instilled by Charlie Doe long before a mission statement was ever written down on paper and is still evident today. At the Ninety Nine, guests, team members and community are all treated with respect.”

Ninety Nine has eight remaining locations in Connecticut, according to its website. They are in Bristol, Enfield, Glastonbury, Killingly, Norwich, Torrington, Vernon and Wallingford.
