Summerlin-area Zippy’s fans have one fewer stop for chili and plate lunches. The chain closed its Hualapai Way restaurant at 4590 S. Hualapai Way on June 28, 2026, but nearby locations are still serving customers, according to Vegas Fork’s closure report.

 

The closure leaves four other Zippy’s restaurants serving the Las Vegas Valley, including a Summerlin location on West Charleston Boulevard.

 

What happened on Hualapai Way

 

The Hawaii-based restaurant company announced the decision in June and described it as a strategic step in its continued growth plans.

 

The Hualapai restaurant opened in March 2025, so its run lasted a little more than a year.

 

The company said it remains committed to Southern Nevada and continues to explore opportunities for additional locations.

 

Importantly, Zippy’s said all employees from the Hualapai restaurant accepted positions at other company locations in the valley.

Where Summerlin diners can go now

 

Quick guide to nearby Zippy’s restaurants

 

For west-side customers, the most obvious alternative is Zippy’s at Summerlin, located at 10810 W. Charleston Boulevard (directions).

 

The company lists takeout hours there from 6 a.m. to midnight daily and dine-in hours from 7 a.m. to midnight, although customers should check for changes before visiting.

 

Another southwest option is Zippy’s Arroyo Crossing at 7095 Badura Avenue (directions).

 

That restaurant lists takeout service from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays and around-the-clock takeout on Saturdays and Sundays.

 

Other operating restaurants are on South Eastern Avenue and Camino Al Norte in North Las Vegas.

 

The chain’s official Las Vegas locations page has the latest addresses, service hours and ordering information.

 

Why the closing stands out

 

Zippy’s began in Honolulu in 1966 and has built a loyal following around dishes such as chili, loco moco, saimin and its Zip Pac meal.

 

The company entered the mainland market with its first Las Vegas restaurant at Arroyo Crossing in October 2023.

 

It expanded quickly afterward, adding the Hualapai location and other restaurants across the valley.

 

That made the June closing notable even as the chain continued operating elsewhere.

 

The company has not publicly detailed a single specific cause such as rent, sales volume or staffing as the reason for the closure.

 

It would be premature to assume one.

 

What this means for the west valley

 

For residents who regularly stopped at Hualapai Way, the change means adjusting a familiar dining routine.

 

The company has also said it is considering additional Las Vegas-area locations, although no replacement site or opening date has been confirmed for the Hualapai restaurant.

 

Customers should rely on current official listings rather than older maps or restaurant directories that may still show the closed address.

 

The takeaway: Missing your Hualapai Way favorites? Zippy’s Summerlin and Arroyo Crossing remain nearby options. Check the official locations page before heading out.

    I used to stop at Hualapai for a Zip Pac on my way home. Guess I’ll try the Badura location now.

    Closing a restaurant after barely a year seems odd for a growth plan. I hope Zippy’s says more about the decision.

    Glad everyone from the Hualapai location got jobs at the other stores. That’s the first thing I wondered about.
