CONOVER, N.C. -- The owner of a Domino's pizza store that captured national attention after videos were posted on YouTube has closed the store as a result of the prank.
Closed signs have been placed in the windows and the phone has been disconnected.
Two employees at the Conover store made videos of themselves tampering with food while at work, and then posted the videos on the popular Web site YouTube. The employees claimed the videos were a prank.
According to Tim McIntyre, vice president of Communications for Domino's Pizza, "The closing of the Conover store is a direct result of the videos posted on YouTube."

That video shows Michael Setzer and Kristy Hammonds doing disgusting things with food.
We tried reaching the owner of the franchise, Kevin Hendren, to no avail.
McIntyre said an estimated 20 people worked at the location.
"Employees of that store have been victimized by their co-workers and have all lost their jobs because of their prank," said McIntyre.
Because of the prank, the closing doesn't come as much of a surprise to some, considering the graphic nature of the video.
"Hopefully, they'll never work in a restaurant again, no restaurant," said Deloris Jackson, who says she was disgusted by the video.
Both Setzer and Hammonds are facing food tampering charges.
