WPTA report by Julia Blandford. The business has served downtown Fort Wayne for 17 years.

[AI-Generated Summary] After nearly two decades in business, the downtown Fort Wayne restaurant Pint Slice is permanently closing its doors on Calhoun Street. Since opening in 2007, the establishment served as a pioneer in the local dining scene, but the general manager cites the rising cost of food as the primary reason for the closure. Despite a surge of customers and "really positive" community support during its final weeks, the high volume of business was not enough to offset expenses and keep the restaurant operational.
