Mad J’s on East Lawn Road in Nazareth made the announcement on its Facebook page on Friday, Oct. 28.
A specific reason for the closure was not given — simply that it was “difficult” and not taken lightly.
“First of all, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last 3 years, it means more than we could ever put into words,” reads the post.
“The Nazareth community has been amazing. Unfortunately, effective immediately we will be closing our Nazareth location.”
Mad J’s is known for its smoked and juicy chicken, pulled pork, brisket, burnt ends, and more.
The business will continue to offer food for events and catering, the post says.
The Mad J’s location on Golden Drive in Blandon will also remain open.
Finally, the post thanked all the staff and supporters that made Mad J’s possible.
“We would not have been able to do it without you,” the post concludes. “Again, we would just like to thank everyone who has supported and helped us over the years.”
