The Indiana pizzeria once at the center of a national debate over religious freedom has permanently closed its doors.
Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind., closed for business last month, The South Bend Tribune reported Monday.
Its owners, Kevin and Crystal O’Connor, were the center of a media firestorm in April 2015, when they said they would refuse to cater a same-sex wedding because of their religious beliefs.
……
The owners were confronted with protests and death threats.
Walkerton residents and business owners said privately to the South Bend Tribune that they didn’t think Memories Pizza closed over the controversy.
Many said the O’Connors — who did not return comment to the newspaper — just wanted to retire.
