After nearly 40 years of serving patrons on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, the Wexford House will shut its doors for good, according to the Telegram & Gazette.

On March 16, the Wexford House announced on its Facebook page that it will be closed until the state allowed restaurants to serve patrons on site. However, on Saturday, the owners told the Telegram & Gazette, that after considering retirement for two or three years, they feel it’s time to close for good.

“The virus was really the breaking point,” Ann Marie Cravedi told the newspaper. “I think it’s time.”

Last week, Gov. Charlie Baker extended the state’s stay-at-home advisory to May 4.

The Wexford House has not updated its website or its social media pages to reflect its closing.

The Wexford House’s menu included an array of items including Middle Eastern cuisine, seafood, steaks and “Shrewsbury St. favorites.”

The Cravedis own the property at 503 Shrewsbury St., but they haven’t yet decided what to do with it, according to the Telegram. They also told the newspaper, they will do their best to refund gift certificates.
