Magnolia Bistro announced Thursday morning on its Facebook page that it is “closing its doors in Burlington.” The restaurant at 1 Lawson Lane, which served breakfast and lunch, added that it is “actively seeking investors to lift us to a new city somewhere between South Burlington and Key West.”
The restaurant’s closing comes months after Magnolia owner Shannon Reilly posted profanity-laced comments on Facebook about people with addiction issues and the city’s efforts to address the health issue.
"The junkies should detox or die," he wrote. "Sorry. So fuckin pathetic employing people spaced out on bupe. Fuckin useless. Let them die."
