Loyal customers are lamenting the close of a Lebanese eatery in the North Vancouver Shipyards district.
Jamjar Canteen took to social media on Wednesday to announce their location is closing, after less than five years in operation.
“This month brings the closure of one of our youngest stores,” reads a post on Instagram. “Our North Van location which opened its doors shortly before the onset of the pandemic will be shuttering its doors for good on May 6.”
Jamjar said the location is closing due to a combination of “mistakes we’ve done and a very challenging environment.”
“However, with our gaze towards the future, we are grateful for the love you’ve shown and are committed to serving you at our Commercial Dr. and UBC locations,” the company said.
The North Vancouver Jamjar Canteen opened in August of 2019.
The restaurant chain didn’t respond to a request for comment by publication time.
