According to a news report from idahostatesman.com, “Round Table Pizza closed all seven of its Boise-area restaurants because of conditions in the national economy, the company said Thursday. But two local pizza company owners say their businesses are doing fine.”
“Round Table Pizza employees showed up to work Thursday morning to find doors locked and signs saying their employment had been terminated. Instructions told the employees how to pick up their final paychecks,” said the story. “I have five kids to support. How am I going to pay my rent?” asked a tearful Yevonda Merrill, a supervisor at the restaurant on Glenwood Avenue in Garden City. Merrill said she and her husband work at the store and received no advance notice of its closing. The closing put about 100 people out of work at the stores in Boise, Garden City, Meridian, Eagle and Nampa.”
