North Texas Malt Shop Closes After 70+ Years Due to Building Sale

End of an Era for Spurlock's Malt Shop

• 💔 Spurlock's Malt Shop, a beloved family-owned business in Anna, Texas, is closing its doors permanently on Saturday after more than 70 years in operation.
• 🍔 The shop has been a local favorite, known for its classic burgers, malt shakes, and cheesy fries, serving as a "hometown like good food" spot.

Reasons for Closure

• 🏡 The closure is a result of the sale of the land and building by the owners, who are aging and felt it was time to make the decision.
• 💸 For the current owners, Christy Spurlock Perez and her husband, this shop represented their sole income for the past 13 years.

Community Support and Future Hopes

• 👏 Customers have shown immense support since the announcement, flocking to the shop to show appreciation and enjoy the menu one last time, leading to hour-long wait times.
• 💬 Christy expressed her heartbreak over leaving the city and community they love, but hopes the outpouring of support will help them save up to potentially build a new location.
• 📍 While they have received calls from other cities, their strong desire is to remain in Anna, the city that has brought their family so much joy.
