BUSINESS DIGEST || Carrabba's closes

BOARDMAN

After 13 years in business, the Boardman Carrabba's restaurant has closed. The Italian restaurant at 1320 Boardman-Poland Road had its last day in business Sunday.

"We've made the difficult decision to close the restaurant based on business circumstances," a spokeswoman said. "We will offer the opportunity to transfer to open positions at our nearby sister restaurant to as many employees as possible. Those who do not transfer will receive a severance package."
