In a heartfelt post on Ted's Fish Fry Facebook page, the owners spell out several factors that went into the difficult decision. It read in part:

This store is centrally located between our other locations. While this decision filled us with great emotion, we are hopeful that it is the first step to achieving new goals. Some of which include opening back up on Sundays, finding new Ted’s locations, and exploring the options of a Ted’s commissary.
