The Prolific Oven announced it would be closing its Santa Clara and Palo Alto locations on Aug. 24. A letter posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page stated the closure was in part due to the “continual rising costs of doing business in the ever-changing Bay Area, while batting a severe shortage of skilled employees.” The restaurant’s struggle with the raise in Sunnyvale’s minimum wage was reported earlier this year.
