Slice, a 1980s-themed sandwich shop, has closed after just a few months in business.

Slice was located on South Second Street, near Oak Street, in Old Louisville. It was opened by Matt Davis, who you might remember from the Lil Cheezers Gourmet Grilled Cheese food truck.

In a Facebook post, Davis explained in detail the reasons behind the closure. He said he went into the venture entirely underfunded. That forced him to take catering jobs elsewhere to make ends meet, which stole attention from getting the restaurant off the ground.

Constant road work hampered the business, he said. And it struggled with pricing and value, he said.

And he took issue with the neighborhood.

"The neighborhood association had many members come in and constantly complain about details that we knew about and were trying to fix. Drug addicts and homeless people constantly accosted us. Stole our tip jar. Begged for free food. Shot up in our bathroom. And banged on our windows when we told them to leave. Our air conditioning issues caused us to throw away hundreds of dollars in bread a month and made it an uncomfortable environment for customers. The [health] department tried to have us make several modifications that the previous restaurant wasn't required to have. Electrical issues. The list goes on and on."

There's more in the Facebook post, which I linked to above.

This is at least the fifth Louisville restaurant to close in the last month or so. And the cover story in today's weekly edition is all about this trend.

For that story, I spoke with veterans in the Louisville restaurant industry who tell me they believe the local scene has more closures coming. A few of the issues that Davis noted above — going in underfunded as well as food prices — are discussed in the story as reasons behind the trouble.
