Two J’s Crab Shack locations — the main location at 2074 Park St. in Hartford and the secondary in Hartford’s Parkville market — have permanently closed, according to the owner of both locations.

Owner James Tinker said the lingering effects of the pandemic are the reason for the closures.

“Prior to the pandemic I was doing 50, 60 grand a week. After the pandemic it was just tough to make ends meet. I mean, $20,000 a week doesn’t cut it,” he said.
