Buffalo, NY – A popular Amherst restaurant closed suddenly Monday. Employees arriving for work at the UNO Chicago Grill on Maple Road were told the restaurant had closed permanently.
Senior Vice President of Marketing Rick Hendrie said the sluggish economy was partly to blame for the decision. He says representatives from the chain's human resources department were on hand to assist displaced employees.
Hendrie said customers holding unredeemed gift cards should call a special toll free number -- 1-866-600-8667.
The nearest UNO Chicago Grill is in suburban Rochester.
