Angelina Brewing Company in Lufkin will be permanently closing Saturday, February 5th, KTRE reported.

The establishment has been serving the Lufkin community for the past three years. Mark Hicks, Lufkin’s mayor and the owner of the restaurant, said the decision was a hard one to make, but the current economic conditions brought on by the pandemic emphasized their challenges.

“There’s a lot of shortages obviously right now with everyday products, food shortages, costs are increasing, and inflation is obviously a concern of ours. And it is hard to find good people,” Hicks said.

Hicks said they have considered closing since the fourth quarter of 2021, he wants to thank the community for their loyal business.
