Parx Casino is closing its 30-year-old South Philadelphia betting parlor, following approval earlier this year to relocate its operations to a nearby Chickie’s and Pete’s, a move that has sparked controversy. The Bensalem-based gaming destination, owned by Greenwood Racing Inc., will shutter its South Philadelphia Race & Sportsbook at the end of the business day on Thursday, according to a Parx spokesperson. In a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) filing with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry and the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Commerce, Parx attributed the closure to “a lack of business viability” and the expiration of its lease at the 700 Packer Ave. location.
