Closings
GreenHouse restaurant, in the Edgewood community of Homewood, is now closed after five years in business. The eatery was known for soups, salads, and sandwiches. The newer location in Southside is also closed. The restaurant’s owners, Bray and Mary Claire Britton, made the announcement on Instagram in July. The couple commented that they wanted to “get to know their kids,” and that the two restaurant spaces were up for lease.
Badcock and More, located in the Palisades in Homewood, is closing permanently. The nationwide furniture chain is reportedly closing down all locations after 120 years in business. The company filed for bankruptcy due to overwhelming debt and climbing overhead costs. The company is having “going out of business” sales in all stores, and all purchases made by customers are final.
