Tough go of it for the Marathon Grill brand this week — fresh on the heels of the 10th and Walnut location falling into the hands of Cuba Libre's owners and chef Matt Levin in a legal settlement comes word that the Marathon at 1339 Chestnut is closing, as well. An official statement from the company:

Due to increasing rental expenses, Marathon has elected to close its Broad and Chestnut Street location.  Marathon has been operating restaurants in this City since 1984 and will continue its commitment to focus on its primary passion of serving locally sourced, quality food at affordable prices to Philadelphians at its other Center City restaurants located at 16th and Sansom Streets, 19th and Spruce Streets, 1818 Market Street and 10th & Walnut.
