TGI Fridays closed?
 
Just heard through a Facebook friend, that TGI Fridays closed. Anyone else heard anything?

There is a very short article about this in The Villages on-line news website. All it basically says is employees were notified of the closing Friday morning.

They were told at an employee meeting this morning. Apparently a new owner will open in 2 weeks.

Fridays closes and Havana stays open! The inhumanity of it all.

Maybe there's hope
 
6 of us went there last week for dinner and opened the front door and the music was blasting. If it was that loud in the front door area we couldn't even imagine what it would have been like to sit at a table trying to enjoy dinner and carry on any sort of conversation. Walked across to Cody's and enjoyed a nice social evening. Still sorry that we missed out on the chicken bruschetta :cry:

That was one of my favorite restaurants!
I loved their appetizers!! And Soup and Salad!

Open last night
 
We just ate there last night (Friday Nov. 1) at about 5 pm. Everything was fine and nothing was said about it closing.

Why is it that virtually all establishments with "live" music allow decibel levels that are dangerous to your hearing?

If you cannot hold a conversation with the person next to you at a table, then the noise level is too high. Many folks will not patronize establishments with very high noise. We didn't frequent TGIF, but wonder if that might be a contributing factor.:MOJE_whot:

Not sure. My friend who works there said the new owner was handing out business cards this morning and said they would be open in 2 weeks. If it was staying a Fridays, can't imagine why it would take 2 weeks.

They didn't tell anyone. It was a shock to the employees. :(

I ate there last night and our server knew about it and said the employees had been given a 'heads up' by mgmt. he told us it would be announced today. and I see now that it was.
