Locals React to the Closure of Colbie's Southern Kissed Chicken in Mount Holly

"I live next to it, worked there for a few weeks when it first opened, it was extremely loved at first! But slowly just faded into nothing, never saw anyone there, maybe one car in the drive-thru now and then," according to a Facebook post.

"That’s a shame. I liked it there and the staff was nice. Beautiful building. Curious what will become of it?"

"That’s a shame. They should have been busier than they were. The sandwiches were good!"
