Building Up Jax: Spice in Middleburg closes permanently due to COVID-19

SPICE TO CLOSE PERMANENTLY

At least one local restaurant has already done the math and decided that it won’t survive the forced closures brought about by COVID-19.

Spice in Middleburg announced via social media this past week that it will shut its doors permanently, due in part to previous financial struggles and in part because of anticipated losses caused by forced closure.

A reminder: we made a list of local restaurants that have adjusted to COVID-19 demands and are providing curbside pickup and/or delivery services. Please support these businesses in any way you can so they will survive this!
