The odds against success in the restaurant are staggering. This is especially true in today's economic environment. Add to that the difficulty in finding help, and you have a recipe for disaster.
In fact, according to a report on Toast , the trade organization for restaurants, The National Restaurant Association pegs the failure rate at 30 percent. Although I don't have specific numbers for New Jersey, it sure seems like we've seen our share of restaurant closings in the last couple of years. If you've visited a restaurant in New Jersey, or anywhere else for that matter, you've noticed the degradation in service and the increase in prices.
So, when a restaurant can boast they've been in business for thirteen years, that should be a reason to celebrate. However, in the case of The Wild Burrito in Wildwood, the number 13 has turned out to be unlucky. The Wild Burrito , located at 4020 Ocean Avenue in Wildwood, shared a post on their Facebook page announcing their impending closure.
This post is written with great sadness. After 13 seasons on the island, The Wild Burrito, will be closing its doors for good on Saturday September 21st. I have many fond memories from my customers, employees & vendors.
Thank You to the countless customers that have been loyal since our days in The Crest. It has been a pleasure serving customers from the Wildwood area & from across the globe. What makes this announcement so surprising is that people have given it great reviews.
