Jack Sprat Cafe closed its doors Monday and in less than a month, the restaurant will become Top This! Roast Beef, Burgers and More.
Jack Sprat co-owner Kyle Heath said he and his business partner Jason Ray sold the restaurant Monday after owning it for three years.
Heath said the restaurant, which was open from 7:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. on weekdays, was too big a time commitment for the pair, which also owns the Franklin Street bar The Library.
Heath said they had hoped to sell the restaurant to someone who would keep Jack Sprat open, but they couldn’t find a buyer who wanted to keep the cafe.
Instead, Heath and Ray sold it to Top This! Restaurant Holdings LLC.
Top This! Roast Beef, Burgers and More is a concept in which customers can build their own sandwich from its “Create UR Craving” menu of seven proteins and nearly 50 toppings. The restaurant will also have a full-service bar, and should be open by November, said Tom Scheidler, a co-owner of the company.
“It’s really about the wow factor,” he said.
