Duncan Family Restaurant is closing its doors for good, with owners confirming that Sunday, November 15, will be the last day customers can stop in for a meal. The announcement came Saturday, giving regulars eight days to say goodbye to the Duncan, South Carolina eatery.
The owners announced the permanent closure on Saturday, according to FOX Carolina. The station noted that the owners said the last day of business will be Sunday, November 15th.
Owners Call the Decision Difficult
In announcing the closure, the restaurant's owners said the decision to close was difficult. They also thanked customers and supporters for their support, kindness, and loyalty over the years.
Duncan Family Restaurant had been serving the area for nearly 20 years, with its location on West Main Street. Its long run gives added context to the closure of a longtime local business. WYFF reported the restaurant’s nearly 20-year history.
The restaurant maintains an active presence on Facebook, where its page describes itself as a place to announce daily specials, special occasions, and closings. The Duncan Family Restaurant page has built a following of 1,229 followers, with 252 people talking about it and 550 having checked in as having been there, according to the page's own description.
What Comes Next
The closure follows another longtime restaurant shutdown in Duncan this year. The Clock Family Restaurant ended its 30-year run on April 10, after its owners said they planned to retire and spend more time with family. The two closures mark separate endings for established local eateries. WYFF covered The Clock’s closing and the owners’ retirement plans.
With a week remaining before the doors close for the final time, November 15 marks the last chance for longtime patrons to visit Duncan Family Restaurant before it shuts down for good.
