The Long John Silvers fast food restaurant in Coffeyville is now closed, according to the city's Heartland Review Podcast. Yesterday, Sunday, was their last opening day. It is not yet clear why the local franchise closed their business, but the buzz on Facebook indicates residents are concerned to be losing another business, especially another restaurant when many already travel out of city limits because of the few choices for dining out in Coffeyville.

On the bright side, the Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce reports that Coffeyville is growing. "While we were sad to hear about Hibbitts and Long John Silvers, thee is much to celebrate!
