However, in a post on Howlers’ Facebook page, owner Susan Coe announced the coronavirus crisis has forced an early closure.

Coe said plans are still in place for Howlers to open in East Liberty at a future date but couldn’t say exactly when. She said a lease has been secured for the spot of Howlers’ new home, but she is not ready to disclose the specific location just yet.
