However, the latest chatter across various social media platforms and message boards suggests otherwise. Several sources claim a deal has been finalized with another restaurant group has taken over the building and plans to convert it into a new concept—effectively bringing Marra’s nearly century-long run to an end.

Supposedly, employees have told customers that the closing date is November 30th.
