Boloco closing revisited?

I was at Boloco in DS yesterday and someone mentioned that the people working there said tht that Boloco location was probably closing in the next 2 weeks. I haven't heard anything about it here, and there was a public uproar last time they threatend this, so I figured I'd as here.

Has anyone heard about this?

Perhaps it is feeling the Chipotle crush? It is far superior.

i think that boloco would easily compete with chipotle if it had a better (closer to the square-proper) location. boloco has more and healthier options but walking halfway to porter for them leads many people to stop at chipotle or anna's instead.

Ew, ew. I got a free burrito at Chipotle and I still wasn't sure it was worth it. If Boloco and Chipotle changed places, Chipotle would be closing. (But in an case, Blue Shirt is the more comparable place and, well, they aren't as good as Boloco, either, both in terms of food and in terms of management friendliness.)

I'll still be frequenting the Boston Ave location.
