How Many Businesses Closed in Annandale? 2013 Year in Review

Not every Annandale business will be around to ring in the new year. Here's a look back at the ones that have closed.

2013 was a busy year for Fairfax County, but also for the Annandale community. In addition to the usual school and police news, there were also some changes with a few longtime Annandale businesses. 

While many new businesses opened, a couple of of places shut their doors for good.

Here's a look back at some of the business that closed this year, as reported by Annandale Patch.

BonChon

In a move that surprised residents in Annandale early in the year, BonChon was replaced by a similar Korean food restaurant, but one without the signature chicken wings.
