Christensen announced earlier this month that Chuck's would not be reopening after the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.
"This pandemic has been devastating to our industry, and we have spent the last few weeks thinking through solutions for survival, and how to bring our team back to work again," she wrote on Instagram. "We've made the decision that our best path forward is to do that thoughtfully by closing Chuck's permanently, and expanding Beasley's Chicken + Honey into the former Chuck's space."
