Fire It Up closing this week
Fire It Up, located at 1523 N. Aurora Rd, Ste. 107, is closing up shop for good at the end of the week.
The taco fusion business first launched in 2011 with a food truck, shifting to a brick-and-mortar space on North Aurora Road in 2013, then moving to its current location in 2016. But according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page, the business took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been unable to recover back to pre-pandemic numbers. That coupled with “rising costs and a poor economy,” owners say, has led to the permanent closure.
The restaurant’s final day will be Saturday, April 27. The business will be putting out promotions throughout this week, inviting all to come in for their “final taco fix.”
