Murfreesboro Smashburger closes suddenly

Mariah Timms | Daily News Journal

Murfreesboro's Smashburger closed permanently with little warning Monday.

The fast-casual burger restaurant on North Thompson Lane was closed and dark Wednesday morning. A typed sign hung in the window indicated the storefront had been closed since Monday, June 11.

"It is with our heartfelt sorrow that Smashburger Murfreesboro is no longer open for business," the sign states. "We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

The corporate website states that the Thompson Lane location has only been temporarily closed. The Murfreesboro location opened in 2012. It was the chain's only Tennessee location.

There was no immediate reply to a request for information from the store manager Wednesday.

This story will be updated with any new information as it becomes available.
