La Parrilla Closes Oglethorpe Mall Location

La Parrilla Mexican Restaurant has officially closed its Oglethorpe Mall location, much to the surprise of many who enjoyed the spot for a quick bite or casual night out. For years, La Parrilla served up flavorful Mexican dishes to locals and visitors alike, but now, with the mall location closed, it marks the end of an era for many.

The decision to close seems to have been influenced by several factors, with rising rent prices and declining foot traffic at the mall topping the list. The mall has faced challenges over the years, and as rent costs continue to climb, some businesses, including La Parrilla, have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a foothold. According to some local sources, the closure had been in the works for some time.
