Several eateries in Baltimore and beyond have recently announced their plans to close — and some have already shuttered. Here are 11 of the latest closures.
Farmland Deli
In an April 16 Facebook post, Farmland Deli shared that it was entering its last week of business. As of Friday, the deli is listed as “Permanently Closed” on Google.
After more than two years of operation, menu highlights included Reuben sandwiches, chicken pesto paninis and vegetable-hummus wraps.
“Rockville, this is NOT a drill,” reads the post, which announced a “BOGO” sale on everything during the deli’s closing week. “Come get your final fix before we are gone for good.”

5 Market Space restaurants
In Annapolis, five restaurants learned on Friday that their joint lease at Market Space will end.
The businesses — all-day breakfast spot Iron Rooster, Mid-Atlantic-inspired eatery Market House, pub Middleton’s Tavern, historic bar and grill Federal House and craft taphouse McGarvey’s — must close their doors by June 30.
These lease terminations, wrote the City of Annapolis on its website Tuesday, were in part caused by construction complications ahead of the Annapolis Boat Shows.
“This is a temporary need. A short-term pause for a major international event allows our downtown to serve as a shared, multi-use space,” the website reads. “We want to state clearly: Outdoor dining is here to stay.”

Molina Pizza
Molina Pizza, located in R. House, announced its plans to shutter in an April 23 Instagram post. According to the post, the restaurant will have its last day of business on May 26.
At its R. House booth, Molina has been known for turning out brick-oven-fired pizzas with both traditional and creative toppings, from “NY Cheese” with aged mozzarella to a pie with crispy chicken, hot honey and roasted red peppers.
“Our menu will slowly be condensed to only our most popular items,” the post reads. “Stay tuned for some pretty solid pizza specials for our last week of operation.”

Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill
A steakhouse chain’s Towson location is the latest of announced Towson Town Center closures.
An entry on the Maryland Department of Labor’s Dislocation Notice Log indicates that Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill will officially close its doors on June 26.
“After close evaluation of the market, we have made the difficult decision to close the Towson location,” a spokesperson for the restaurant wrote in an April 21 email to The Sun. “We sincerely thank the community for its support over the years.”

The Lodge Pasadena
A Pasadena outpost of prolific restaurant group Titan Hospitality officially closed.
The Lodge at Pasadena had its last day of business on Sunday. Jackie Carlton, Titan’s director of marketing and recruitment, cited economic challenges as the reason behind the closure.
“We lowered pricing, and it just wasn’t sustainable,” Carlton said in a Tuesday interview with The Sun. “We didn’t get enough business, unfortunately, to continue to operate.”

The Natural Market
A 38-year-old health food store in Timonium is preparing to close its doors.
In a Sunday Facebook post, Steve Schwarz, owner of The Natural Market, announced his upcoming plans to close. While he did not specify an official closure date in the post, he announced that, starting Monday, the market would begin a “going-out-of-business” sale.
“Please stop by, say hello, and take advantage of the savings as we wind down operations,” the post reads. “We would love the chance to personally thank you for being part of The Natural family.”

Wico Street Beer Co.
A beloved Pigtown brewery has announced that it will close at the end of May.
In a Tuesday Instagram post, the team behind four-year-old Wico St. Beer Co. cited “Rising costs, changing consumer habits, and an increasingly difficult sales landscape” as reasons for the upcoming closure. Until its last day, the brewery will be open only on weekends.
“If there’s one thing we hope people take from this, it’s how important it is to support small, local businesses,” the post reads. “They are labors of love built by real people, with real risk, sacrifice, and a whole lot of heart.”
