Is Le Sandwich in Clarendon Closed Already?

Le Sandwich, the gourmet sandwich shop that opened March 23 at 3033 Wilson Blvd, may already be closed.

The shop has been locked all week, with chairs up on tables and the “Le Sandwich” logo scrubbed from the building’s signage. However, the other parts of the Le Sandwich sign, with the phone number and social media logos, remain. Multiple attempts to reach Le Sandwich’s owner, Mehdi Ben, have not been successful.

Ben told ARLnow.com when the restaurant opened that he planned to stay open late to serve Clarendon’s bar-going crowd, but in the month since, he changed the hours on the store’s sign to show it closing after dinner. Another restaurant owner in Clarendon told ARLnow.com that the restaurant is closed for renovations, but the shop has been empty during the day on several different occasions this week.

The shop’s location at the corner appears to be bad luck for restaurateurs: Cafe Wilson closed in 2011, Paciugo Gelato opened, rebranded as Street Corner Cafe in 2012, and then closed earlier this year.
