    Londa’s To-Go is officially shutting its doors.

    The soul food takeout restaurant will close Saturday, Dec. 20, as it transitions “to a new opportunity for Londa’s in January 2026,” according to a message shared to its Facebook page.

    Additional information wasn’t immediately available.

    A woman with brown hair and a bright smile stands in a parking lot, wearing a burgundy cardigan and a navy blue t-shirt that reads ‘Londa’s To-Go’ with a red heart over the ‘o.’ She is gesturing with her open hand toward a brick storefront in the background, which has a partially visible circular sign for ‘Londa’s Place’ or ‘Londa’s.’

    The eatery, formerly Londa’s Place at its original Mount Holly-Huntersville Road location, was a finalist in the CharlotteFive Reader’s Choice best fried chicken poll earlier this year and won Silver for Best Ribs in the Charlotte’s Best Awards. Co-owner Yolanda Crowder opened the to-go concept in March 2024, CharlotteFive previously reported.

    “We are truly excited and believe you will love what’s coming!” Crowder wrote on Facebook. “Stay tuned for upcoming announcement. Peace & Blessings.”

    CharlotteFive reached out to Londa’s for more information and was awaiting a response.

    A chef wearing a navy blue shirt, a blue apron, and bright neon green gloves is using tongs to lift a frying basket filled with dark brown, fried items (likely chicken or fish) out of a deep fryer set on a stainless steel commercial stovetop. The chef has a black baseball cap and a salt-and-pepper beard. There is steam rising near a large silver pot on the stove. The kitchen area is stainless steel, and a red mat is visible on the blue floor.
