"Truth is, I think it was the pandemic that did us in," 91-year-old owner Marilyn Leviton told KTLA-5.
California's $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers and a need for new equipment also led to the restaurant's closure, she said.
AdvertisementBeef sandwich chain Arby's has closed its restaurant on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard after 55 years of operating under one owner.
California raised its minimum wage for workers at quick-service restaurant chains to $20 an hour in April — 25% more than the state's general minimum wage.
Speaking about the closure of her restaurant, Leviton said: "I'm awfully sorry that it came to this."
