On Monday, the restaurant’s owner, Joanna Sikiotis, told Channel 9 that staff shortages, a downturn in business and the recent death of her husband led to her decision to close the restaurant.
“To tell you the truth, it’s not in me anymore,” Sikiotis said. “I just want to go home.”
However, Sikiotis hinted that customers might not have seen her last.
“I don’t know what the future will bring. I still have the name. I still have the chili recipe and you never know. I’ll keep the site open so you might hear from us.”
The restaurant shared the news on social media and thanked their loyal customers for their years of support.
“We would like to thank our loyal customers for these wonderful 97 years and also for the love and support you have shown us despite our recent loss. We will always remember your smiles, hugs and laughs. You will remain in our hearts as family. Thank you very much!”
Green’s Lunch will close its doors permanently on Wednesday 28th June.
