One of Towson Town Center’s sit-down steak spots is on its way out. Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill is set to close its Towson location at the mall this summer, a move that will put 68 employees out of work. The shutdown is scheduled for late June 2026, cutting one of the mall’s full-service steakhouse options. Local reporting surfaced the planned closure on April 21, 2026.
State filing lists staff count and June 26 closure
The planned shutdown appears in the Maryland Department of Labor’s dislocation log, where a WARN notice filed April 20 lists Stoney River and shows 68 employees will be affected. The filing sets a plant-closure effective date of June 26, 2026, according to the Maryland Department of Labor.
Local reporting first surfaced the news
Once the public filing hit state records, local outlets quickly picked up the story. As reported by The Baltimore Sun, the layoff notice specifically named the Towson location and detailed the number of employees affected.
Another blow for Towson Town Center
Stoney River’s spot sits inside Towson Town Center, which has already seen a run of tenant departures in recent months. Officials and business leaders have questioned the string of exits after the Apple Store announced plans to leave the mall, as reported by WMAR-2 News.
What the notice means for workers
The WARN/ESA filing is designed to give state and county workforce teams a head start so they can coordinate Rapid Response support and job-search assistance for affected staff. Maryland requires advance notice for mass layoffs and offers services to displaced workers, according to guidance from the Maryland Department of Labor.
What’s next
The state filing does not spell out any severance or rehire plans, and details about the future of the restaurant space will likely come from the chain or mall management. With the closure set for June 26, regulars and employees will be watching for follow-up announcements and outreach from local workforce services in the coming weeks.
