"The Times Square branch, at 7 Times Square, closed in early March after opening in 2023, according to Crain's New York Business. Delivery and reservation platforms now mark the Times Square location as permanently closed."
"When Pink Taco landed in Times Square, it came in loud. A press release via PR Newswire touted the arrival as a big, tourist-friendly debut, saying the bi-level restaurant opened in April 2023 in time for Cinco de Mayo."
"Industry observers have pointed to pressure from big leases, changing tourist patterns, and stiff competition from cheaper quick-service options as reasons full-service concepts like Pink Taco faced challenges."
Pink Taco's Times Square location at 7 Times Square has closed after operating for less than a year. The restaurant, which opened in April 2023, aimed to attract theatergoers with its vibrant atmosphere and large seating capacity. Despite its initial appeal, the location struggled to survive in Midtown's challenging restaurant landscape. The closure follows other recent shutdowns of Pink Taco locations, indicating broader challenges faced by full-service restaurants amid rising competition and changing consumer habits.
