Although she didn't give any details regarding the future of the business, she did say the restaurant was "closed for good right now" and had plans to reopen sometime in November.

The restaurant, which seats 78, is located inside the building that was formerly Salem's 19th century jail.

A Craigslist post published on Saturday suggests that a burger restaurant has plans to move in at the location.

The Craigslist post help wanted ad is for a Kitchen Manager for the "North Shore's newest hot spot" A&B Salem at 50 St. Peter St.

"Exciting new concept coming to Salem! We are a healthier, local farm to table burger and craft beer restaurant," the ad reads.
