4 Delaware restaurants closed recently, including a formerly hot chain

The price of food can be pretty startling these days, but that hasn't stopped restaurateurs from dreaming big and opening their doors. But not every Delaware restaurant can go the distance, unfortunately. Restaurants that have closed recently in Delaware include a fast-casual chain location, once popular nationally but now with only one left in the state. Ruby Tuesday, Middletown One of the last Ruby Tuesday restaurants in Delaware has closed, at 474 W. Main St. in Middletown. In a 2018 Delaware Online story about the growth of restaurants in Middletown, a resident is quoted as saying Ruby Tuesday was operating “when we came here 10 years ago,” so that goes back to 2008. People in Middletown we spoke to estimated that the restaurant was open for more than 20 years. The menu featured appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, ribs, steaks, chicken, seafood, pasta and desserts. Now a sign is posted on the door saying, “Effective May 17, 2026, this Ruby Tuesday location is closed. Please visit our other locations,” but the only location listed is Milford. That’s because the Milford Ruby Tuesday at 945 N. Dupont Boulevard (Route 113) is the last one left in Delaware. Years ago, Ruby Tuesday closed

Lusby Rental Property Transformation Leads To Multiple Offers, Strong Return For Local Homeowner

Property tax rates to re-split as Delaware advances reassessment reform

Four out of five bills in a legislative package designed to ease the impact of Delaware’s sweeping property reassessment cleared their first committee hearings June 10. The package inches ahead in the wake of the first reassessment in decades, or some 40 years in New Castle County, which largely finished last year. Lawmakers held a series of hearings last fall to examine that rollout, as residential property values – and in many cases, tax bills – spiked. Sponsored by Rep. Cyndie Romer, the first bill requires all municipalities in New Castle County to share building permit data with the county every month. This proposal, Romer said, stemmed from those hearings, wherein officials pointed to a lack of shared data as a “flaw” in the process. She also told her colleagues a working group will continue to recommend statewide guidelines, pending passage of a different resolution from the Newark Democrat. Romer anticipates more on data collection in Kent and Sussex counties next session. How we got here: Delaware lawmakers file reassessment fixes as session end nears The second bill from the same sponsor would allow county school districts to again reset their property tax rates for the next tax year.
