By the next day, equipment, supplies and dining room items were being packed into vans as the restaurant shut down operations. Crews were also seen covering signage and preparing the property for vacancy, including placing blank panels over the Roy Rogers sign while other materials were being removed from the building.
Employees who were not authorized to speak publicly said some workers are being reassigned to other nearby locations, including the Roy Rogers in Waldorf and the Solomons area.
