## Caption

Lil Mama’s, a Chicago-style hoagie restaurant in Patten Square, is permanently closing on Dec. 31.

Owners Michael and Kori Ellis announced the news on social media via a Facebook and Instagram live video.

They spoke about how much they’ve loved connecting with the Chattanooga community over hoagies. Kori Ellis said they’ve prioritized paying their team a living wage and running their business with integrity, but said unfortunately, they are at the end of their rope.
