Only a few weeks after Briarwood Mall began advertising its new food court area with the arrival of Salads UP in the northeastern corridor, across-the-hall neighbor Which Wich decided to call it quits. Employees at the custom fast-casual sandwich shop’s Liberty location told us they thought the Briarwood spot was not getting the business it needed to cover the mall rent.

Former customers have limited time to wave goodbye to Quickie Burger’s beer-splashing, burger-riding female mascot on the awning at State and Hill. The bar and grill, known as a popular late-night grub spot for students, closed in July.
Jerry Erickson, the Coach and Four barber, owns the building. He says the original owners in the Arman family had sold the restaurant to an employee six months ago and “they weren’t doing as well as they thought they were gonna.”
A new restaurant, Redlight Rotisserie, has already taken over the space and posted a “now hiring” sign in the window. Erickson says, “It’s gonna be more of a coffee shop and bakehouse,” featuring grilled flatbread sandwiches.
