Applebee's Calexico Location Closure Will End 20-Year Run

The applebee's calexico location closure will take effect this month, ending a run that lasted more than 20 years in the border city. The restaurant employed nearly 30 people, and the company did not disclose why it is closing.

Calexico 10 Theatres

The closure comes one month after Calexico 10 Theatres shut down a few feet away from the restaurant. That sequence leaves one commercial corner in Calexico without two nearby businesses that had served the same area for years.

Near 30 Workers

For employees, the immediate issue is not the restaurant's history but the job loss tied to a month-end closure. Nearly 30 people worked there, and the announcement gives them a short window before the location stops serving customers.

The restaurant had been part of Calexico for more than 20 years, so the closing removes a long-running dining spot from a place that had already seen a nearby theater shut down. The reason for the closure remains undisclosed, leaving the change to stand on its own: a local restaurant with decades of service will disappear this month.
