Chomp closes as lease expires

South Dunn Street burger shop Chomp is closed for good.

Former owner Ross Thackery said the building’s lease expired.
 
The building will become part of an expanded 420 smoke shop.

“I think the landowner would rather rent the space to 420,” Thackery said.

When asked if the restaurant was closing because of poor cash flow, Thackery said the closing was because of the expired lease.

Thackery owns 420 and ABR Imagery, an imaging service that also provides glass products.

Thackery said he expects 420 to open soon, likely on a Monday.

“I’m not exactly sure which Monday it is,” he said. “But I guarantee the Monday after spring break it will be open.”
