This Sunday, March 5th, Nick’s Roast Beef on Cottman Avenue is closing forever.

The owners of the establishment took to Facebook recently to explain their situation. Simply put, "unfortunately, we were unable to reach a lease agreement with our landlord."

Win-win

But here's the good news for both employees of the restaurant and those that like to eat there: Nick's has a second location on Woodhaven Road. That one is staying open. And everyone who works on Cottman Avenue is able to move to the other restaurant.

That's what we call a win-win.

Big party planned

To say goodbye to the establishment, Nick's is planning a big party this Sunday.

Beginning at 4:00 pm, we will offer a complimentary buffet, followed by a champagne toast at 6:00PM.

Other location staying open

Nick's other location on Woodhaven Road is remaining open. That restaurant is located about 10 miles from their Cottman Avenue eatery.
