Jan. 31—SELINSGROVE — Garfield's Restaurant and Pub and Yankee Candle have permanently closed in the Susquehanna Valley Mall.

The restaurant closing was announced Sunday on the restaurant's Facebook page, the last day the business was open to the public. Yankee Candle closed on Thursday.

The restaurant opened at the mall in August 2005, mall Manager Margie Deppen said.

Deppen said Garfield's closure was a "last-minute" surprise driven by the labor and food product shortage.

The Yankee Candle shop, which opened in the mall in 2008, was among nine stores in the region that were recently closed by the company, she said.

The following message was posted on Garfield's Facebook page Monday.

"It is with very heavy hearts that we announce our location closed its doors forever yesterday.

"Thank you to all the amazing and loyal patrons over the years, we truly appreciate your support. Also, a thank you to all of the incredible staff members we had the pleasure of working beside. The memories made here will not be forgotten."
