Noodles & Company Shutters Both Bethesda Locations

BETHESDA, MD — Noodles & Company shut down both of it's Bethesda restaurants last week, as part of the company's push to close 55 underperforming restaurants across the country, Bethesda Magazine reports.

The restaurants on Elm Street and Westfield Montgomery closed last Wednesday.

“Closing any business anywhere is never an easy decision, and closing these restaurants was a hard but necessary call to make,” company spokeswoman Lauren Andrich said. “These changes affecting underperforming restaurants reflect our business decision to focus our resources on our many strong performing restaurants.”

Employees at the closed locations were offered positions in nearby restaurants, or were given severance benefits, Andrich said.

Noodles & Company offers salads and a variety of pasta dishes, such as Spicy Korean Beef Noodles, Thai Green Curry with Shrimp and Wisconsin Mac & Cheese.

Other locations include Rockville, Germantown and downtown Silver Spring.
