This is a judgment call. If it’s only a name change, with the same owners, menu, decor, etc., then changing the name is sufficient, with perhaps a temporary “formerly XXXX” note. If it’s anything more substantial , especially new owners and management, then the original should be listed as closed and a new, fresh listing should be created.
