Girves Brown Derby confirmed Tuesday its Belden Village restaurant has closed.

An announcement about the closure made its way around Facebook on Tuesday morning, and one fan recounted in a post its lengthy history in Stark County.
“After decades of serving delicious meals and creating cherished memories, the beloved establishment has announced its closure," said Brook Harless, a Plain Township trustees, said in her Facebook post. "Though the doors may have closed, the legacy of the Brown Derby will live on in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of dining there.”
