One of my friends is a regular there along with some coworkers. While the reasons given probably played a major role as well, my friend said the owner was offered mucho dinero for his property.
Where did the offer come from?
Can’t see any business succeeding there no matter what. Candidate for “affordable housing”?
That makes sense. Why not sell out and make a lot of Money out of it? Even though only New York and California (and a few other places) are instituting the $15 minimum wage, what we are seeing is an intense pressure for the fast food/restaurant industry to automate. We will see an increased use of kiosks so we wont have to pay for waiters.
