Holy Guacamole says it is considering closing its restaurant on Victoria Street in Kitchener after police say it was robbed on Tuesday.

He then took off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

In a Facebook post, Holy Guacamole said the location was being manned by a pregnant woman and a grandson.

“Our staff’s safety is our top priority and to remain open at Victoria Street is under consideration, to be honest.”
