Honest Johns deal with Guy Fieri fell though?

[Allegiance]

Heard that the deal is dead. Anybody else hear that? Hope it's not true. Been looking forward to a grand opening soon.

Maybe even see the Camaro.

What is the source of this rumor?

[Allegiance]

What is the source of this rumor?A friend said she read it in the newspaper. I doubted it as I would have read about it here or on the other site.

[l2ridehd]

He read the lease terms and decided it was not possible to make money and still serve good food.

He read the lease terms and decided it was not possible to make money and still serve good food.
Guy Fieri is not leasing it. It is a licensing agreement. His money comes from the restaurant using his name & making his food.

Seems logical, precent or gross to Villages another percentage to franchise, high rent. Etc

They aren't even holding interviews until the beginning of next week. I doubt they will be open the following week after hiring new staff.

I wish I were ready to start looking for work in the Villages area. Not just yet though. Busy busy bee.

They better. I don't think a bacon cheeseburger for $22 will sell in TV. Nor will $20 sandwiches, $15 fries, and $33 ribs.

They will go under with those prices here in the Villages and quickly.

I hope this $22 hamburger is better than my last $42 hamburger in NYC.

Nope, just a standard 2AM room service burger when I arrived 4 hours late. Bad airplane karma.

No loss - I've been to his place johnny garlic in Santa Clara area and honestly about 30% of the meal was decent while the other 770% was absolutely horrible. service was poor as well and I left totally disappointed...he's a character and personality but as far as running a good restaurant with good fun....I'd say his empire is falling flat....

That menu is definitely a Vegas priced menu. If the franchise owners stick to that pricing, the space will up for lease within a year. I'd pay those prices for a fine dining night out but no way for a burger.
