State College’s Noodles & Company has closed after more than 13 years in business.
The fast-casual restaurant at 244 W. College Ave. is now permanently closed, according a sign posted on its front door. The company’s State College location is no longer listed on its active roster of Pennsylvania Noodles & Company shops, and its phone number is no longer in use.
“We’re sorry to say this Noodles location is permanently closed,” a sign on the shop’s door reads. “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed serving you and appreciate all your support.”
Following its closure in State College, Noodles & Company has just six operating shops left in Pennsylvania. The closest locations to Centre County are in Harrisburg, Camp Hill and Pittsburgh.
Noodles & Company’s closure opens prime downtown State College real estate on the corner of West College Avenue and South Burrowes Street. The site formerly housed bars like 797 Lounge and the Sports Cafe before Noodles & Company opened in August 2012.
Noodles & Company served a wide range of noodle-based dishes, including macaroni and cheese, chicken Parmesan and ramen bowls. Its menu also featured soups, salads and sides like potstickers, garlic bread and meatballs. The chain once served sandwiches but removed them from its menus years ago.
Those impacted by Noodles & Company’s closure may be able to satisfy their cravings at Honeygrow, another fast-casual chain that recently opened in State College. The shop, located at 170 E. Beaver Ave., offers salads and stir-fry bowls, among other options.
