"THEY" usually means the developers. I am sure THEY want to rent it out. THEY don't like to have business ventures not working for them, I am guessing since everything else seems to be running very nicely by THEM.

A restaurant owner will have to step forward to rent it. Many mom and pop restaurant owners are having a hard time making a go of it against chains who operate more cheaply and more efficiently usually and have the clout of big business to pay their help benefits etc.

It also is not in a strip mall with other business and in kind of a not on the beaten path location.

So what was in an excellent location at the beginning when it was built may not be quite as good as it once was.

I don't think there is a conspiracy or an evil presence trying to keep it from being a restaurant, rather life and times and business is changing.

It wouldn't be where a chain would choose to open.

Well said, Gracie.
