Jessica Biel’s kid-friendly restaurant, Au Fudge, will be closing its doors.
“Today is our last day of regular business hours at Au Fudge the restaurant. We are still available for private events and @aufudgecamp is only a few blocks away! Thanks for all the support,” a photo was captioned on the restaurant’s Instagram page on Monday.
Biel took to her personal page later in the day to comment.
“While this is the end of an era, it’s also the beginning of a new chapter for @aufudge. We are so very proud of the happy place we created for families and the community we were a part of. Going forward, Au Fudge will be available for private events and please stay tuned for #AuFudgeCamp news! We have so much love for our Au Fudge family,” she wrote.
News of the eatery’s closing comes in the midst of Biel’s legal battle with her former employees. She and the restaurant’s other investors were sued in September for allegedly stiffing their employees out of their proper breaks and tips.
Page Six learned in June that the case will be refiled in Santa Monica, as it was dismissed in Los Angeles.
The actress, 36, opened Au Fudge in 2016.
