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

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

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

San Vito Restaurant

Closed: Feb. 19

After nearly eight years in Burke, San Vito Ristorante Italiano has closed.

A financial dispute between restaurant owner John Sayre and the shopping center was reportedly part of the reason for the closure.

Burke's PhotoCraft store didn't exactly close for good, but the store did close for a day in order to relocate to a new spot a few doors down in the Burke Towne Center shopping center.

Caribou Coffee


Back in May, Caribou Coffee announced plans to close 80 underperforming locations across the country and convert more than 80 shops to Peet’s Coffee & Tea locations. Burke's Caribou, located at at 8948 Burke Lake Road in the Kings Park Shopping Center, was supposed to become a Peet's back in October.
