SANFORD, Fla. – After years of service, a Sanford soul food restaurant will be celebrating its last day on Friday, according to the owner.
In a Facebook post, Shantell’s Just Until Restaurant and Lounge owner and chef Shantell Williams announced the closure, though she teased an upcoming collaboration.
“This isn’t goodbye... it’s the beginning of a new collaboration and a new chapter,” the post reads. “Stay tuned to see what’s coming next.”
Back in March, Williams was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash during Bike Week in Daytona Beach.
Her daughter, Sadiqa Muhammed, later told News 6 that doctors placed plates and rods throughout Williams’ body.
“I think the doctor said about six weeks for each broken bone,” Muhammed explained at the time. “And she can’t put any weight on her legs for about eight weeks.”

While the restaurant’s last day is on Friday, there will also be a “Welcome Home Party” on Saturday at the Blend & Barrel Cigar Bar, Williams revealed.
“After everything I’ve been through these past months, there’s no better feeling than coming home surrounded by love, community, and good vibes,” Williams wrote.
Williams’ restaurant is set to be open on Friday from 12 p.m. - 3 a.m. on Saturday.
