While remembering the three decades spent in Duluth, the family-owned business prepares for a special goodbye. In the post, they also invite the community to a celebration of memories and good times. The Final Dip Celebration Weekend will be held from Friday, May 29, through Sunday, May 31.

Reacting to the announcement, a Facebook user wrote, “My father first took me for my birthday, probably 30 years ago. And while I haven’t been able to go yearly, my wife and I did begin to go yearly for the father’s day special. We’re sad to hear it’s closing, but not surprised given how the area has changed. I’m going to try getting us there one last time.”
Another user wrote, “Awe that’s sad to hear. My husband and I got engaged at that location in 2011, and go every year for our anniversary, which is May 29th. We have to get one more visit in. Please consider Buford Mall of Ga area, I think that location would truly benefit you.”
The Melting Pot’s closure marks the end of a longtime dining tradition in Duluth. As it prepares to say goodbye, many customers are hoping to visit one last time.
