No explanation has been offered despite our attempts to contact the operators. The Midtown Crossing location released the following statement:

"It is with regret we confirm the announcement from Brix that both Brix locations, in Midtown Crossing and Village Pointe, will be closing their doors.We acknowledge that restaurants and retailers, nationwide, are facing significant economic headwinds right now. The loss of Brix, unfortunately, underscores that point. Despite this setback, our urban core is growing stronger and our unwavering commitment to the vibrancy of this neighborhood and the surrounding midtown community is stronger than ever. Leasing representatives for Midtown Crossing are actively marketing the space and pursuing an operator who will add to the neighborhood. We are confident we’ll be announcing a new addition to the neighborhood soon."
