Mask Policy Is Not the Reason for Texas Diner’s Closing

A recent report from The Dallas Morning News has claimed that Legends Diner, located in Denton, Texas, was closing due to its mask policy. This diner had previously gone viral earlier this year for putting up a sign that warned customers they would be fined $50 if the owner needed to explain the mask policy and $75 if customers wanted to debate the policy. 

The claim that the mask policy caused the closure has been widely shared on social media. The Facebook post by the newspaper gained hundreds of interactions within days. On Twitter, this news has been shared by popular accounts, such as the account belonging to the actor Morgan Fairchild.
