My feeling is that it was put there and maintained as a sales tool regardless of profit or the lack thereof. As the new development had moved so far south KB's was not all that convenient to those buying new homes, the developer's target market. Also it may not have been appealing to the younger demographic as it was to old geezers like me, I don't really know.

The Cattleman restaurant was mediocre at best, but it and the drinks were cheap. I remember picking up my first mug of beer and expecting a heavy glass mug, almost throwing the beer into my face as the lightweight plastic mug surprised me. KB's had a road house feel to it I enjoyed immensely.
