Key Points
La Mona Pizza confirmed the closure of its downtown branch, with a final closing date of March 1st.
The chain had already closed its marina location last year.
The announcement comes two days after the closure of Los Arrieros restaurant in El Quelite.
The specific reasons were not detailed in the company’s statement.
The loss of locations affects the local food scene and employment opportunities.
La Mona Pizza announced the closure through its official channels, informing that the downtown location will cease operations on March 1st. This decision follows the closure of its marina branch last year, which further reduced the brand’s presence in the local market.
This move is part of a series of closures of iconic establishments in the city. Just two days ago, the Los Arrieros restaurant in the El Quelite district also announced its closure, reinforcing the perception of a restaurant crisis in the area.
The departure of established businesses reduces the culinary offerings in the historic center and could translate into fewer direct jobs. The source of the announcement did not specify the number of positions affected or any severance plans for the staff.
The business sector in Mazatlán has faced recent challenges related to fluctuating tourist arrivals and the security situation in Sinaloa. These factors, according to the report, have put pressure on the financial viability of some restaurants and businesses in the city.
So far, there have been no public statements from municipal or state authorities regarding the closure of La Mona Pizza in the city center. The company did not provide details about the reasons for the closure or indicate whether the brand will relocate to another location within the municipality.
The final service date is stated in the chain’s announcement. It is important to know if there will be support measures for affected workers and monitoring of the impact on local commerce in the coming weeks.
