To all of our Fitz Willys friends and family,
We are sad to announce that our last day of operation at the shop will be Thursday, April 30, 2026.
Unfortunately, I’m dealing with some medical issues — bilateral degenerative osteoarthritis in both hips, along with bursitis in both hips and my lower back. Nothing life-threatening… but let’s just say my body has officially filed a complaint about standing on concrete for 12 hours a day.
As much as I’d like to argue with it, this is one argument I’m not winning.
This decision was not easy. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to serve what we truly believe are the best customers around. Over the past two years, you’ve supported us, laughed with us, and kept us going even on the long days.
It has meant more than we can ever properly say.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you — from me, Lori, and Madi. You’ve been more than customers… you’ve been family.
We’ll be open through Thursday, so if you’ve got one more meal in you (or just want to stop in and say hi), we’d love to see you and thank you in person.
Before my hips put me on a permanent “management only” position.
With gratitude,
Fitz Willys Takeout Kitchen & Catering
