Closures hit popular restaurants in Madison.

Four Sisters, a beloved Vietnamese restaurant in Virginia, is closing after almost 30 years in business. The restaurant, originally known as Huong Que, was founded by the Lai family, who arrived in the US in 1981 with just two black trash bags. The family's journey from food carts to a successful restaurant business reflects their ability to work together to survive and thrive. The closure is due to multiple factors, including the end of their lease, labor shortages, and inflationary pressures. The family plans to continue their legacy through other restaurant ventures.
