Biscuit Love closes Birmingham restaurant
Biscuit Love has permanently closed its Birmingham location, leaving the popular Nashville brand with five restaurants.
A popular Nashville breakfast spot is shrinking its footprint.
Biscuit Love has permanently closed its Birmingham location in Cahaba Heights, Biscuit Love co-founder Sarah Worley told the Birmingham Business Journal, a sister publication of the NBJ.
The biscuit-centric brunch chain opened its only Alabama location in 2022, occupying 3,045 square feet.
Worley told the BBJ the restaurant space is changing hands and will be operated by a "well-known restaurant group" as a different concept.
The Biscuit Love brand is owned by Fresh Hospitality, the Nashville-based restaurant group which owns Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint, Taziki's Cafe, Taco Mac, Waldo's Chicken & Beer and more.
Biscuit Love started out of a food truck in 2012. Karl and Sarah Worley opened the first brick-and-mortar location in 2015 in the Gulch, where lines of customers waiting to order biscuits often spills out the door.
The closure leaves Biscuit Love with five locations, four in the Greater Nashville area and one in Cincinnati, Ohio, according to its website.
It's not the first Nashville brand to scale back.
Party Fowl expanded quickly, with a total of seven locations at its peak, after opening its first location in the Gulch in 2014. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2024 and was acquired last year. The Gulch, Donelson and BNA locations remain open.
Popular pizza joint Slim & Husky's has also trimmed its portfolio. The brand currently has nine locations, the team told the Business Journal, down from 12 listed on its website in March 2023. Slim & Husky's closed its Fifth + Broadway location this year in what it called a "strategic move as it plans to strengthen its local presence by focusing on 'community-rooted locations.'
