If you’re a fan of fondue, we’re sorry to say you’re going to have to go out of town to get your fix.

As of last night, The Melting Pot’s Pasadena location shut their doors.  The company has cited a mutual agreement between the franchise owners and the landlord to terminate the lease.

They expressed their interest in the LA market and shared their hopes to open a new location in the region soon in an official press release.

The release also noted: “We sincerely regret the impact this closing has on our guests and our family of team members. Team members (about 50 people) have been notified of the closure.”

The location was opened in December 2005, closing just shy of their 10 year anniversary.
