(Shutterstock) FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield eatery recently closed, and ownership is citing an inability to find workers as the cause, according to multiple reports. Blue Cactus Grill operated for over two years in the 2400 block of Black Rock Turnpike, News12 reported, but the restaurant shut down after struggling for eight months to hire enough employees, according to Connecticut-based think tank the Yankee Institute for Public Policy. "We were forced to close simply because we were unable to staff the business," said a message that was posted on the Blue Cactus Grill website and later changed, according to the Yankee Institute, which published the post.
