After more than 20 years in business, Glenwood South restaurant announces closure

After 22 years in business, Armadillo Grill on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh has closed.

Owners made the announcement via social media on Wednesday that the restaurant would be closed, effective immediately.

"As we have watched the restaurant industry change and the cost of doing business rise, we feel this location no longer serves our customer base," owners wrote on Facebook.

Owners wrote that they would be seeking a "better location to serve our Raleigh community," but would continue to offer catering services in Raleigh.

The Tex-Mex restaurant's flagship location in Carrboro will remain open.

Armadillo Grill is among a growing list of longtime downtown Raleigh area businesses that have announced closures in the past few months.

After 10 years in business, Clouds Brewing closed its downtown Raleigh taproom earlier this month.

Last week, Capital Club 16 announced it would be closing its brick-and-mortar space at 16 West Martin St. at the end of April. Owners plan to focus on onsite catering, pop-up events and their food truck, The Wandering Wolf.
