Metro Diner is closing the doors of its South Florida locations for good due to the coronavirus pandemic, managing partner Rick Lopez shared on Facebook Sunday.
Opening in March of 2017, in The Walk, Metro Diner served all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
“A sad day for my team at Metro Diner. All of the South Florida Metro Diners were closed today, permanently. We all lost our jobs along with the closings,” said Lopez, who managed the Pembroke Pines location.
Deanna Bloom, managing partner of the Coral Springs location made an online announcement.
“It’s official. We have closed our doors today. Permanently. (I know the sign says temporary) but it’s forever. All Metro Diners in South Florida served their last guests today. This was such a great company in the short amount of time I worked for them. I will truly miss all of my Metro family.
Besides Coral Springs, the closure includes Tamarac and Pembroke Pines. Before today, Metro Diner had 67 locations, with 57 company-owned and 10 franchised.

The government always wins.
Gov. wants businesses to go busted so everything will be owned by gov. Other places will soon close for good nationwide.
Restaurants not designed for pickup-delivery services will have a tough time and probably close, permanently. Those restaurants who can redesign their business model to provide pickup-delivery services have a chance to survive. Chain restaurants don’t usually have that kind of flexibility.
There will be many more…. thanks China
This is so wrong. Grocery stores are packed. I would feel safer eating out and would if they were simply open!
