LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A well-known Louisville restaurant is closing its doors, but will still be seen around town.
The Seafood Lady is closing the Phoenix Hill location at South Hancock and East Jefferson streets, just outside NuLu.
Nichelle Thurston, also known as the Seafood Lady, started selling her food from her home a decade ago. Six months later, she opened a food truck. It became a hit with locals and even many celebrities.
The Phoenix Hill restaurant opened two years ago, but Thurston said the time has come to close.
"The restaurant industry is just not the same as it was five years ago. Things have changed," she said. "A lot of things have changed — my kids have grown up, they are taking different careers at this time, staffing is one of the major problems."
The restaurant's final day is this Saturday, Feb. 24. Thurston said she and her husband will continue to operate the Seafood Lady food truck, which is often seen at many events, such as Thunder Over Louisville and WorldFest.
