Rochester, Minnesota Businesses That Closed in 2022

As soon as I heard that multiple Burger King locations were closing in Minnesota, I was concerned about our Rochester stores.  The Med City has had quite a few businesses close in the last few months that have left empty storefronts and many individuals that had to hunt to find new jobs.  Just the other day, Pescara in downtown Rochester announced that they were closing for good.

2022 was a rough year though for closings for Rochester.  Some businesses and restaurants closed with some notice for their fans and guests.  Other companies just closed up shop and threw a note up on the door.  You can see a pretty full list below of places in Southeast Minnesota that said goodbye in 2022.
