Maybe the 2 brothers who run Red Sauce and Johnny Rockets will honor your gift cards when they open a new Greek restaurant there.

Yup, David and Jack just might extend that good will to their new endeavor.

There are a lot of creditors in line before they get to gift cards.

The announcement of new owners for the Athens site sure blows a hole in the theory the developer wanted the location for something other than a restaurant Has money been refunded yet for outstanding gift cards?

I received this email on February 4, 2016 but haven't received any $$$ yet.

Good Morning,

First and foremost we wanted to take a minute and say thank you once again on behalf of Athens NY Restaurant for all of your support throughout the years. We finally received back the gift card refund report from the gift card company. There were over 400 gift cards to be processed. That was the reasoning behind the delay. The refunds have started to be mailed out with the amount that was purchased minus the incentive. They will be coming in a form of a money order so if there are any issues we have the money order information to look up. We want to thank you for your patience.

Any questions please let us know.

Thank you.

Yes but who is the owner? And/or we do not know what disagreement Athens had with the landlord nor what agreement the new owner has.
We do know Athens did a good business but was it enough to meet expenses and make a reasonable profit?? We know Athens message left meaning in between the lines that it regretted leaving. but why? Nor do we know if the original plans the landlord had, had fallen through?

There is little question TVLSI is aggressive the question pivots on one's interpretation or definition of what aggressive means? And again we find there are three tribes in The Villages

Why?

Did you purchase the gift cards on a credit card? If you did you may want to try filing a dispute with the credit card. If they have other restaurants that take your credit card they will be forced to respond to dspute claim. I would try it. What do you have to lose. Usually the credit card refunds your money until the business makes good reason as to why you are out your money. That's what I would do. Of course if you bought gift cards with cash or check you are at the mercy of the vender.

Not so patient anymore
 
After several phone calls and 6 emails to Athens, I was promised Feb 4th that I would be receiving a money order for the amount left on my gift card which I feel was significant. They have many excuses...over 400 cards to process. They card company was slow in telling us how much money was due each card etc. They don't seem to return calls when they say they will either. Let's get about 100 people to go to Flap Jack Johnny's and order a lot of food. When we get the bill, use our gift cards. That's one way to get some of our money back.
