Wonder why, they were always very busy. We went several times and tried to go early or late so we didn’t have to wait. But even at 3:30 you could get in but they had a line when we were leaving. And at 7:30 there were still lots of people there but you didn’t have to wait.

Iced tea? Free bread? I love iced tea and free bread. How come I never heard of this place? Aww, and now it's gone.

Seriously, starting any kind of business is tough. Sorry to hear an apparently popular place gone.

Their website says permanently closed as well. No explanation or reason given. They had been advertising in the Villages paper recently and seemed to be doing very well. Very odd indeed.

They were a Forum Sponsor and had a recent positive Yelp review from a 11/27/21 visit.

The Shrimps Facebook page, which was run by employees not the owners, states it is closed permanently. If you read the comments on that page you will see that the manager said one of the investors pulled out for personal reasons and the employees were given no notice. They were open Sunday and permanently closed Monday.

I just went to the FB page and read the multitude of comments from customers, managers and staff. Sad situation for all concerned. Seems that getting a new investor might be an answer to the problem. Easier said than done I am sure.

Wow we know several people who went and loved it. Sad.
