The Loop on 55 closed (lease, prices, shopping center)

I just noticed this yesterday. It always seemed packed. What happened?

You can't be serious! Their portobello mushroom pizza was the best ever.

Like you said, always packed. Great place for teens to work and eat. What happened, indeed?

Too many pizza places?

The loss of Kroger and other stores in that shopping center couldn't have helped.
The Triangle has a big problem with what I call Retail Redundancy.

It was a good place to have lunch. I will miss it.

Honestly, I still don't know how a grocery store isn't on that corner and The Loop never seemed to have relied on Kroger not being there for 2 years.

Bummer!

probably because there are 5 Harris Teeters within a 5 square mile block. Maybe some competition would bring down the Teeters prices.

I heard their lease was up and they decided not to renew.

There was one on Kildaire Farm Rd. also. Is that one still open? I ate there a couple of times and was not impressed.
