We are sorry to report that the Sub Contractor Sandwich Shop at 640 Lindero Canyon Road (at Kanan) in Oak Park has closed its doors after 25 years in business. Many CVG Facebook Page followers and local residents have voiced their sadness over this one.
Not sure of the specific date it happened, but recently we discovered that Salad Gourmet at the Janss Marketplace food court area is now closed.
Salad Gourmet opened in this spot approximately three years ago.
Speaking of eateries at Janss Marketplace, if you're looking for great, New York style pizza, check out Greco's New York Pizzeria for perhaps the largest pizza slices you will ever find. And delicious!

We have learned from Tony S via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page that Freebirds World Burrito in Agoura Hills has closed its doors. It follows the footsteps of Freebirds World Burrito locations in Ventura and Simi Valley that closed over a year ago. All three locations opened in 2011.
If you are still having cravings for Freebirds, the closest location is now in Granada Hills.
Melissa B tipped us off via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page tonight that today was the last day that the Red Lobster at The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks was open.
Yes, you heard that right. After operating at this location for 5 years and 2 months, the Red Lobster Thousand Oaks is closed. This was confirmed with a phone call to the restaurant, which indicated "As of February 28, 2016, this restaurant is permanently closed" and referenced locations in Oxnard and Canoga Park.
What's next for this location, sandwiched between Olive Garden and Bank of America in the east Oaks Mall parking lot? We shall see.
Melissa W gave us the heads up via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook page that The Napa Tavern at 101 S. Westlake Boulevard has closed its doors. The official note on its website reads as follows:
To all of our loyal friends and customers,
We would like to thank you for your support and patronage over the last 5 years. We are saddened to inform you that as of February 23rd, 2016 we will be closing our doors. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. It was our privilege to be a part of this community and we greatly appreciate all of the years you have allowed us to serve you.
Sincerely, The Napa Tavern
Melissa also indicated that it appears a steakhouse will be going into the spot. Stay tuned.
Limon Latin Grill at the Simi Valley Town Center closed its doors early last month after 10 years of doing business.
In a post to its Facebook page yesterday, Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que Simi Valley announced "We truly regret sharing that due to the financial and economic challenges we are facing in today's marketplace, we are unable to operate in a responsible fiscal manner and are forced to close our doors." Sorry to hear about this! (Thanks to CVG Facebook follower Stephanie A for the heads up.)
The former Famous Dave's in Simi Valley
It was about a year ago that the Thousand Oaks Famous Dave's location closed its doors. The other Ventura County location is at The Collection at RiverPark in Oxnard.
