Noodles & Company shuttering stores in Leesburg, Herndon

The Noodles & Company restaurant chain has closed its last location in Loudoun County and will be closing its Herndon location soon.

The Burn has learned that the Noodles & Company at the Village at Leesburg recently closed its doors permanently. The roughly 2,700 s.f. space is now listed as available for lease.

There was previously a Noodles location in Sterling which closed in 2020. The space is now occupied by the CHIKO restaurant.

Meanwhile, the Noodles & Company at the Village Center at Dulles in Herndon is expected to close later this month. Staff members told us Tuesday, July 28 will likely be the final day.

That space – clocking in at nearly 3,200 s.f. – is also listed as coming available to lease soon.

According to media reports, the closures are not unexpected. The company announced in plans in January to close some 30-35 stores in 2026.

This comes after it reportedly closed 42 restaurants in 2025. The closures are aimed at improving the financial health of the company.

Noodles & Company was founded in 1995 and has more than 300 locations around the country.
