Covington restaurants Rich’s Proper and Hangry Omar’s are set to permanently close on Dec. 15.
Co-owners Bill and Morgan Whitlow posted the news on Rich’s Proper’s Facebook page. In the post, they said the businesses were no longer sustainable.
“There is never a good time to make such a difficult decision,” they wrote. “As owners, we have used every resource available to continue these concepts for our team, especially through the holidays, but we can no longer sustain. Our hearts are with our team as we push through these final days of business.”
Rich’s Proper, located on the corner of 7th Street and Madison Avenue in Covington, features a diverse array of brunch, sandwich and dinner options, in addition to a deep selection of bourbons.
Hangry Omar’s serves different types of sliders, including their popular Traditional and West Coast offerings. The restaurant operates out of a storage container kitchen on the outdoor campus of the Covington Yard.
The Whitlows thanked their employees for their dedicated service to both restaurants.
“It has been an honor to be part of such an amazing team, sharing our passions for great food, bourbon, memorable moments, and heartfelt connections with all of you,” they wrote.
