I don't think Warwick is any more susceptible to the ebb and flow of restaurants. The average lifespan of a restaurant is only 5 years.

“Both Perry Group International and The Restaurant Brokers have completed studies on the average life span of restaurants. Their results are slightly different but show the same trend. The Perry Group study concluded that most restaurants close during their first year of operation. Seventy percent of those that make it past the first year close their doors in the next three to five years. Ninety percent of the restaurants that are still operating past the five-year mark will stay in business for a minimum of 10 years. The Restaurant Brokers’ study, the only one to make a distinction between chain and independent restaurants, concluded that up to 90 percent of independent establishments close during the first year, and the remaining restaurants will have an average five-year life span.” (https://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/average-life-span-restaurant-6024.html)

I don't think we should look for any deeper meaning for the Remington House closing than what the owner has already stated. The restaurant was clearly popular and had good reviews so it the owners are just moving on.

I totally agree that it is next to impossible to make a success right next to Iggy's. Nothing has lasted. The traffic and parking situation makes it less desirable than stopping somewhere else on one of the main roads in Warwick.

I never tried Shore Line pizza. I didn’t know it was even there! If they advertised, I certainly didn’t see it. It was never recommended on Facebook by other patrons on best pizza in Warwick, so it is possible that it is closing because it just didn’t hit the mark.

Does the business climate in Warwick have something to do with them closing? I am not sure I would pin this one on the Mayor. Not when we have 4 news ones open to the 3 that are closing. It appears as if there are many obstacles to running a successful, long-term restaurant (anywhere in the country) from the moment they open their doors. It takes a very brave person to tackle this type of endeavor!
