8 New Hampshire Restaurants Closed in January, February 2026

Several New Hampshire restaurants announced their permanent closures in January and February 2026.

And yet, there were a few spots that offered a glimmer of hope, either by relocating to a new place, rebranding to something different but with shades of the original, or having a few other locations elsewhere.

Interestingly, a good number of the closures were from establishments that have been around for more than a decade, which hold a lot of memories for both the workers and the customers.

What New Hampshire Restaurants Closed in January 2026?

The longstanding Mall at Fox Run in Newington, New Hampshire, closed on January 31, 2026, a spot that served up decades of memories for many, including family trips, hanging out with friends, and simply enjoying the latest shopping finds.

Of course, a mall trip wouldn't be complete without checking some of the food options there, and two remained until the final days: Roman Delights Pizza and Sarku Japan.

One person shared on the Facebook group Seacoast Eats, "As the mall finally gets demolished, I hope the people that quietly provided so many of us with childhood memories and nostalgia find another place to land. Thank you for the years of familiarity, comfort, and consistently great pizza."

Thanks for the memories, Fox Run Mall.
