Up to 40 people are out of work following the closure of the second St. Hubert Express in east Saint John.The Rothesay store closed in early September.
Corporate spokesperson Josee Vaillancourt tells CHSJ News the operations were not profitable.
She says they did a financial analysis of the restaurant and came to the difficult conclusion that the restaurant would not be profitable in the short term.
The empty St. Hubert spaces in Saint John and Rothesay could be used for another restaurant looking to start up.
The store on the east side opened last February.
