A well-known Texas taco chain will officially close its doors in Corpus Christi this week.

Fuzzy's Taco Shop will close its 6646 S. Staples Street location at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Kelsey McNaughtan, manager of the chain's Corpus Christi location, said the sudden closure was made by the restaurant's local owners.

The restaurant was one of more than 100 Fuzzy's Taco Shops in the country. The first Fuzzy's Taco Shop opened its doors in Fort Worth in 2003, according to the chain's website.

Other Texas locations include San Antonio, Austin and San Angelo.

"We are sad to have to close our doors, but we appreciate everyone who has come in to support our restaurant all these years," McNaughtan said. "We have really become a family here."

McNaughtan said Fuzzy's Taco Shop opened its doors in Corpus Christi in August 2013. The location was the only one in the city.
