Paula Deen is closing up shop, y’all.

The former Food Network star, along with her sons Jamie Deen and Bobby Deen, announced they have closed her two restaurants in Savannah, Ga., where she started her catering business The Bag Lady in 1989.

“Hey, y’all, my sons and I made the heartfelt decision that Thursday, July 31st, was the last day of service for The Lady & Sons and The Chicken Box,” Paula wrote in the joint statement shared to Facebook Aug. 1. “Thank you for all the great memories and for your loyalty over the past 36 years.”

The 78-year-old—who shares Jamie, 58, and Bobby, 55, with ex-husband Jimmy Deen—also emphasized the family’s appreciation for their patrons over the past three decades.

“We have endless love and gratitude for every customer who has walked through our doors,” Paula continued. “We are equally grateful to our incredible staff—past and present—whose hard work, care, and hospitality made The Lady & Sons what it was.”

She added, “Savannah will always be our home, and we’ll always be here to support our wonderful community.”
