A restaurant now announces an unexpected closure after 10 years of service to its community, resulting in layoffs at the location.

An Applebee’s restaurant in New York will close in just days after more than a decade of serving loyal fans, reports The-Sun.

Officials for the franchisee revealed they had loved serving diners in the area for 15 years, per the ABC affiliate WTEN.

They added they had appreciated customers flocking through the doors over the years.

“We hope to see you at our neighboring restaurants throughout the Albany and Hudson Valley markets,” a spokesperson from T.L. Cannon told The Daily Gazette last month.

Workers to be impacted by the shutdown have been offered new jobs.

But news of the closure has caught fans off-guard.

“We’ve never had a bad experience there and the staff was always so friendly and always good service!” one diner said.

“My son will be sad.. he liked it there,” a mom added.

Diners said they feel bad for the workers who are to be impacted.

Others commented online they needed to go back one last time to enjoy their restaurants.

Diners can enjoy their favorite appetizers and entrees at Applebee’s restaurants across the state.

The Hudson restaurant will close just weeks after an Applebee’s establishment in Waco, Texas, also shuttered.

Bosses apologized to customers in a note that was pinned to a window.

News of the closure went viral and sparked diners to share their memories on social media.

Earlier this year, an Applebee’s establishment in Antioch, California, also closed, bringing an end to more than 25 years of business.
