- Shari's Cafe, located at 1565 SW Odem Medo Road in Redmond, closed Thursday.
The Pacific Northwest restaurant chain Shari’s Cafe & Pies has closed both its Bend locations, just days after closing its Redmond location.
The Redmond location on Odem Medo Road closed permanently on Thursday.
The diner chain, which began in Hermiston in 1978, has shuttered more than a dozen of its 95 locations across Oregon, Washington and Idaho in recent months.
On Aug. 26, The News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington, reported that the Idaho State Tax Commission had six liens against Shari’s Management Corp. for roughly $220,000 in unpaid taxes and noted debts to various vendors including marketers, construction firms and plumbers.
The Oregonian reported several locations in the Portland metro area have closed, ranging from Beaverton to Oregon City to Vancouver.
Over the past month, Shari’s locations in Keizer, Medford and Pendleton have closed, according to news reports.
KGW TV quoted Sam Borgese, CEO of Gather Holdings LLC, parent company of Shari’s Management Corp., in an email to the Oregon Lottery on Monday: “I can confirm that at this time that all Oregon Shari’s restaurants are closed.”
