A last look at Jerry's Subs & Pizza in Burtonsville (Photos)

Here stands the former Jerry's Subs & Pizza at 15547 Old Columbia Pike in Burtonsville. After operating for more than 3 decades of the local chain's golden age, the restaurant converted into Jeffrey's Subs & Pizza before permanently closing. A message to customers in the window notes that "business conditions have deteriorated and operational costs have increased excessively" in Montgomery County, leading to the closure.

There's good news for fans of Jerry's, however. The moribund Montgomery County economy and anti-business County Council may have sunk Jerry's here, but locations remain open in economically-vibrant Aberdeen, Accokeek, Dunkirk, and Solomon's Island. Franchises also remain available.

Perhaps one day, the Big Bubba, Double Trouble, and Jerry's Famous Wedge Fries will return to MoCo. Until then, "say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you."
