Catrib is the son of the restaurant’s founder, Marie Catrib, who passed away in 2013at the age of 65.

“We have had a beautiful and successful business in this wonderful city; a place that my mother once said she had never felt so at home as she did here,” he said in the Facebook post.

A new restaurant is expected to move in at the location, but it’s unclear what it will be.  The staff at Marie Catrib’s will be put in contact with the new restaurateurs to explore possible employment options, according to a manager at the restaurant.
