T.G.I. Fridays
 
Rumor has it that they are on the way out.............

Bill-n-Brillo 01-18-2013 10:49 AM

Oh? Source?

Bill :)

Lbmb24101 01-18-2013 11:08 AM

That would be a shame.
We ate there Dec 31, quite a busy night, and the manager was very helpful w our special request of low sodium in our dinner.
Who, when did you hear this rumor?

Emery Eaton 01-18-2013 11:21 AM

My wife and I are kind of partial to TGI Fridays. We met at a diffrent one years ago, and have been together ever since. Hope they stay around, because it reminds us of that time.

Anything that starts out with "rumor has it" must be true.

LOL Rumors, rumors...... LOL.......Like the Changes at Cane Garden 'Rumor" This one came from multiple sources that would know. If I named the sources it wouldn't be a rumor. I also like Fridays , love their sizzling chicken, so we will watch and see what unfolds.

Schaumburger 01-19-2013 06:03 AM

Oh I hope the rumor is not correct...I really like TGI Fridays...

skip0358 01-19-2013 06:51 AM

I to like Fridays and heard that a while back. I asked the manager comment was that's news to me we're doing great. Heard another rumor the other night. Was told SweetBays in TV was closing. Yesterdays paper said there are stores closing but NOT in TV. Rumors. Myans said the World was ending. I don't think it did.

So why not simply add some real substance to the statement and put a stop to calling it a "rumor"?

I don't understand.......

Bill :)

If the sources cared, they wouldn't have told you...

...and if you weren't prepared to substantiate your story, why post it here to begin with?

Sometimes, I just don't get it...

Fully agree.

Getting a little tired of "I heard a rumor"............stories.

Perhaps they don't even know TOTV exists, Bill.

Bill :)

Bill32 01-19-2013 02:33 PM

Now my feelings are hurt......;). Jack I'm sorry your tired ,Mem why do I need to substantiate something I hear?? And Bill they do definitely read TOTV. I knew Cane Garden was going public.......a rumor?? Just things I hear, Lighten up folks, we're all friends. If there is a problem have the moderator disallow all " rumors" :) ;)

You first posted in October of 2011 that Cane was going private and that the lessees of Bonifay would acquire it. Happened more than a year later with other lessees. Lighthouse was another rumor you posted, except many of the regulars knew about that months before you apparently did. So, we'll just have wait for your latest to happen, or not happen.

Cisco Kid 01-19-2013 05:15 PM

Bill32 01-19-2013 09:01 PM

Like I said, lighten up friends, maybe " rumor " was the wrong term. I should have said " Interesting conversation I had with Village restaurant people today". This isn't hearsay over the bar but a conversation with people that would would be in a position to know that's all. So if your not interest in this type of info don't read the blog, simple, some people may find it interesting,some may not.
Do you really wan't to drag this into something bigger than it is???? Not me.

Heard some other interesting restaurant tidbits tonight but I'll let you guy's get some rest :wave:

mulligan 01-20-2013 07:10 AM

Perhaps it's as simple as the franchise owner can't make enough profit at that location, and the lease is about to expire.

soldiermom2574 11-11-2013 03:04 PM

T G I Fridays is closed! Passed by the beginning of Nov. 2013 and it is boarded up. I have not heard why.

jblum315 11-11-2013 03:19 PM

Yes, friends, TGI is closed. Get over it!

Steve & Deanna 11-11-2013 04:58 PM

Hope that if they're 'on their way out', it's just to a different location as we've been by it several times and just never stopped in. They always looked busy.

From a former employee working at another establishment.......Fridays had to pay 75% of its profits to Morse and the owner of Bonifay is putting a Brazilian steak house in there.

You should also check with the mowing crew that cuts your neighbors lawn and the guy who reads the gas meter and and rumor central!
Wait maybe you are right, most employees know the details of the lease agreement where they work......................

The 'rumors' are just getting really unbelievable! TGI Fridays probably closed because there food was not cutting it and the service was not good!

No, if you read the posts, it was a corporate decision.
A Google search will give other locations.

eremite06 11-12-2013 12:15 PM

Go ahead and try to shoot the messenger.....but give it time and we'll all see what happens.

And.....BTW, Bonny, if it's not true then what is????

First. NO corporation of the size of TGI Friday would agree to 75 percent of it's profits going to the landlord. That is preposterous.

If you are meaning to establish that the Morses do collect a share of the profits in most of their commercial rentals, I would have to guess that they do. It is done everywhere in areas where it can be done. Common in Malls etc.

It isn't underhanded but it isn't 75 percent for danged sure. That statement seems inflammatory to me.

I heard that they were putting in a Brazilian cut salon in there. I mean if ya want to start rumors you have to know HOW. Don't cha know. ;)

Bonny 11-12-2013 12:21 PM

Don't want to post anything cause I haven't been given permission to do that. It won't be long.

See Bonny knows. Will it be a bikini waxing business, Bonny? Tell us please?

Cisco Kid 11-12-2013 12:37 PM

I heard that it is on a sink hole ready to drop.
