OT: Sara's Pockets Closed

[RayIsTheGOAT]

A staple of Storrs for as long as I can remember...they recently went out of business.
It was a hidden gem, really a shame that they (likely) got run out by Storrs Downtown.
It was run solely by an older couple (I believe from the country of Lebanon?) for several years and they were so gracious, and the food was delicious. The Kabab pockets were out of this world.

A disaster. Sara's Pockets was THE hidden gem of Storrs

That's too bad.

Thank you thank you Sarah pockets

Where is the dislike button when you need it?

 

[Mr. Hand]

"Your welcome! Big pleasure!"

Nicest couple you'd ever want to meet.

Too bad.

Hopefully they closed for retirement and not for business or health related reasons.

 

[Fishy]

My guess would be retirement.

I hope so, anyway. They were so freaking nice.

If you had made a drinking game out of "Thank you!" and "Big pleasure!", you'd be dead before you got your food.

Hopefully they closed for retirement and not for business or health related reasons.

Pure speculation, but I would guess business reasons. I went once in the past year, absolutely no one in there and they raised the prices and seemingly decreased the portion size.
Add in the fact that Gansett Wraps and Little Aladdin opened in Storrs Downtown, both Mediterranean food.

Sounds like this professor was similarly intrigued: The Sara's Pockets problem
