Except an Incredible Journey is not a normal shut down, it's the shutdown of a company, because the buyer took the thing it was interested in and then ran away.
So in your case, it should rather read:
"After 43 years in business, Joe's Pizza will be shutting down after July 10th because of its acquisition by Pizza Hut, which will tore down the place and puts its own pizzeria here. Be happy we got rich!"
People gets emotional with place they go to or things they use, you can think it's irrational, but it's just a fact of life.
