The closure of Shari's marks a significant loss for late-night dining options in Oregon, where many smaller communities relied on the 24-hour service of this chain.
Deb Melina, manager at the Northeast Airport Way location, described the restaurant's struggles, noting it felt like being in 'hospice' due to lack of supplies and support.
Recent reports highlighted Shari's longstanding financial issues, including unpaid fees, eviction notices, and tax liens, demonstrating the chain's vulnerability prior to the closure.
Shari's parent company CEO Sam Borgese's email confirmed the abrupt closure, which directly impacts Oregon Lottery revenues, previously heavily reliant on Shari's operations.
