Which Wich in Searcy unexpectedly closed Sunday, Sept. 30.
Senior Carl Craig was among the employees surprised by the sudden closure. Craig was working the Sunday it closed and was there to hear the news directly from the owner, Don Rummel.
“He came in and said, ‘I have to talk to you guys.’ Craig said. “And then he told us that they had to close the store. We were all really shocked because we didn’t know it was doing badly at all.”
Many of the employees said they felt it appeared as though the business was doing well, especially since Rummel recently hired new employees.
Which Wich was immediately closed down the day Rummel announced its closure.
Upon being contacted, Rummel preferred not to comment on the reason for the store’s closing.
