The Corvallis Ruby Tuesday restaurant closed in the wake of the chain announcing Thursday that it would shutter 95 underperforming locations by September.

Little information about the local closure was available on Monday, though a sign on the restaurant confirmed the permanent shutdown.

Calls and an email to a media spokeswoman for Ruby Tuesday were not returned on Monday.

The closure apparently was abrupt. Silverware remained in place on tables on Monday morning, and customers drove up to the eatery to see if it was open.

The Corvallis Ruby Tuesday opened in August 2002, and had plenty of Oregon State University memorabilia on the walls, as well as other local historical photographs. The menu was based on hamburgers, a salad bar and entrees such as ribs, steak and pasta dishes.

According to a 2002 Gazette-Times editorial, the restaurant provided jobs for 100 people.

On Ruby Tuesday’s website, a news release explained the reasons for the closure.
