PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The casual dining restaurant chain Chili's is pulling up stakes at its Hubbard Avenue location.

On Tuesday afternoon, there were moving trucks outside the location, as first reported by Pittsfield Community Television on its Facebook page, and a call to the location was answered by an employee who reported that the restaurant had no plans to reopen.

Inquiries to Chili's parent corporation, Brinker International, were not immediately returned on Tuesday afternoon.

There is no information posted on Brinker's website about any wider closures.

The Chili's location in Bennington, Vt., remains open as of Tuesday afternoon.

The restaurant opened for business in 2018. There are currently 15 other Chili's in Massachusetts, according a company map of the locations.

North Street Restaurant Serving Authentic Afro-Caribbean Cuisine

Andre Lynch has transformed the former Lulu's on North Street into a bright and sunny space to serve his Caribbean cuisine.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Dre's Global Kitchen is bringing the flavors of the Caribbean to North Street starting this weekend.

The new restaurant at 137 North St. is holding its grand opening on Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m.

Owner and chef André Lynch said the cuisine is straight from his mom's cooking.

Deborah Burchell, a well-known chef and instructor in New York, grew up in Trinidad and learned to cook when she was little. Lynch has taken her recipes and also made his own modifications to her cookbook.

"Thirteen of us grew up in a household eating home-cooked Trinidadian meals every single day in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, mostly, which is a very thick West Indian or Caribbean community," he said.

Once he left New York, he realized not many other places share the influence of his mom's cooking.

"Leaving New York, Brooklyn, really opened our eyes to how much Caribbean influence was not in other places."
