Frankly hoping a restaurant fails seems unkind. Many have jobs in these establishments.....all the way from the farmer to the wholesaler, the kitchen staff, wait staff, dishwashers, cleaning crew, trash men.
If the new establishment is not to your liking, don't frequent the place, there are many other food joints in the surrounding area from inexpensive to needing a bank loan to buy a meal.
You have something against Darden for selling?

No, I don't have anything against Darden for selling.
Restaurants fail all the time. As the Polar Bear said, that's capitalism. Even the Golden Corral on 441 is closed and that was a better deal (value for the money) for consumers than Red Lobster. Apparently, no one worried about the employees enough to keep eating there.
This is capitalism! It's all about competition and may the best man win. There's a high turnover of restaurants. Restaurants come and go in The Villages. What happened to the employees? They have to sharpen their survival skills. What happened to the employees at Darden?
Notice that restaurants don't bother asking us what we like or don't like. Wendy's used to have a suggestion box years ago but not anymore. Who else has one? None that I know of. Some will take suggestions by phone; lot's of luck with that. How can they improve and stay in business if they are blind to what we want?
