COLUMBUS, Ind. — After 11 years in downtown Columbus, a local butcher’s shop and eatery is preparing to close its doors.
The Savory Swine, located at 410 Washington St., announced the news via social media. Owner Lisa Abendroth said that “economic downturn” was the reason for this decision.
“With a saddened heart and a grateful mind, it’s time to publicly confirm The Savory Swine is indeed closing,” the business shared on social media. “We’ve enjoyed nearly 12 years in our location downtown Columbus, and its truly been a pleasure. Please stock your freezers with all your summer favorites, as we will be taking orders for the next six weeks or so.”
The Savory Swine opened in downtown Columbus in May of 2012. Abendroth later opened an offshoot in Indianapolis called The Beerded Swine in March of 2022 and closed in June of that same year, with Abendroth citing a variety of economic factors.
