A slow summer and difficult luck finding a new franchise owner forced BTB Burrito, 403 E. Grand River Ave., to close its doors Tuesday.
The taco and burrito shop’s co-owner, Luke Bostic, is graduating from MSU in May and the other co-owner has accepted a job outside the state.
Attempts to find a new franchise owner were unsuccessful, Bostic said.
BTB is a chain that began in Ann Arbor and operates three Ann Arbor locations. The East Lansing shop is the chain’s only other location, and it opened in August 2005, Bostic said.
Despite being unsuccessful in selling the franchise, the owners said they were able to sell the shop’s property and a new business is likely to open in January.
