"Several locations of Kelly's Roast Beef in Florida have closed for good, according to a press release from the private equity firm that became the new owners of the North Shore sandwich shop last year. AAM15 Management, Kelly's new owners, sent out the press release Tuesday, noting that the closed locations - in Naples, Pasadena, and Fort Myers, Florida - were managed by different owners."
"Still, the Florida closures mark an end to expansion plans that took root only a few years ago, when Kelly's brought its 3-way roast beef to a part of Florida teeming with New England transplants. The other Florida locations - there are four left, according to Kelly's website - "are expected to follow a similar transition, with timing determined solely by the local operators.""
""We understand this news is disappointing, especially for the loyal guests and dedicated team members who made Kelly's part of their everyday lives," said a spokesperson for Kelly's Roast Beef. "We're grateful to everyone who supported us in Florida." Kelly's new owners added that the New England locations - six in Massachusetts and one in New Hampshire - "remain open and fully operational.""
Several Kelly's Roast Beef locations in Florida — in Naples, Pasadena, and Fort Myers — have closed permanently. AAM15 Management, the private equity firm that acquired Kelly's last year, announced the closures and said those closed sites were managed by different owners. The remaining four Florida locations are expected to follow a similar transition, with timing set by local operators. New England locations, including six in Massachusetts and one in New Hampshire, remain open and fully operational. AAM15 set goals to expand the brand across New England and the East Coast while preserving the original North Shore 3-way sandwich.
