Jekyll Brewing Announces Closure Of All Locations

More sad news coming out of GA from the Cherokee Tribune:

Jekyll Brewing will close all five of its brewery/restaurant locations, including the one in downtown Woodstock, on Sunday, May 11, founder and CEO Michael Lundmark announced this week.

“Costs went up 45 percent, and sales went down 50 percent due to overall economic downturn of the past two years,” Lundmark told the Tribune. “This was simply unsustainable. My heart breaks for our staff and I pray they will all find something good from this change in their own households.

“I wish it were different. I’ve been told God won’t give us more than we can handle. Prayers and well wishes to all that touched our brand in a positive way.”

Lundmark said he is not yet ready to discuss what will happen to Jekyll’s equipment and facilities. The Woodstock location at 8634 Main St. is in the rebuilt historic Johnston Building. Two others are in Alpharetta; one is in Gainesville; the other is in Jacksonville Beach, Fla.
