In a Facebook post Saturday, Harvest Pizzeria Asheville owner Kelly Leu said the Banks Avenue establishment was closed after not being able to reach an agreement on rent with the landlord. The post said the costs of rent and labor "made the business model for a future HPA insurmountable."
"After an inability to reach a reasonable rent structure with the landlord and an inability to obtain additional capital or a partner without an economically viable lease, the landlord has requested that we voluntarily vacate the premises or get evicted. I chose the former," Leu said in the post.
