LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Carrabba's Italian Grill, located in Latham Center at 675 Troy Schenectady Road, has permanently closed. The restaurant's last day was Friday, February 23.
“Closing a restaurant is never easy," Bloomin' Brands, the company which owns and operates Carrabba's, told NEWS10. "This was a business decision that is not a reflection of the management or staff."
The company said all employees of the Latham location will get a severance package. Carrabba's is known for its pasta, specialty Italian dishes, steak, seafood, and more.
Bloomin' Brands also owns and operates Outback Steakhouse, Aussie Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse Wine Bar. The company has more than 1,450 restaurants throughout the United States and 13 countries.
The Latham location was Carrabba's only restaurant in the Capital Region. In New York, Carrabba's now has three locations in Amherst (by Buffalo), Fayetteville (by Syracuse), and Rochester.
"We appreciate the community’s support over the past 19 years," said Bloomin' Brands.
