EVESHAM – The Mexican Food Factory said in a social media post it plans to sell its building to a cannabis dispensary in the future but it remains open.

The Marlton restaurant, located at 601 Route 70 West, wants to make it clear that it is currently open and will be open in the near future.

“The owners and management of the Mexican Food Factory want to be clear with everyone about the status of the restaurant:

“WE ARE OPEN and it’s business as usual at 601 W. Route 70!”

The post explained that the eatery has “been approached by a cannabis dispensary and they are currently going through the approval and planning process with the township. We will be transparent with our incredible staff and loyal customers throughout this entire process, and when we know more we will update everyone.”

Mexican Food Factory was established in 1979

It said as of now they are not closing and that it will be months before “we end our tenure as the longest continuously running restaurant in Evesham. Until that time we’d love to see you for a bite and drink.”

The Mexican Food Factory has been open since 1979, it said, and “loves being a part of the local community and have served multiple generations of families and friends throughout the years.”
