Bonnie - any more hints?

She doesn't have any idea!

Just got back from a cruise. The word is it will be 1 - 2 months before a decision is made as to who will get the restaurant.

it WAS going to be a sport bars....then a steak house....but problems with the papers...so NOTHING so far.....the rent is crazy....sad it is empty!!!!!

The fact that nothing has happened yet has nothing to do with the cost of rent.

Any news Bonny?

Going to turn it into another Rec. Center. :icon_wink:

I heard it will become an indoor pool.

To tell the truth, I liked Friday's and miss it. Maybe a new TGIF franchise owner will come in. Or maybe they'll just level it along with Barnes and Noble and expand the Square.

February?........it will take almost a year?

Shimpy, Bonnie's post was from December, so she was referring to this past February. I've followed this for a while. I have my trust in Bonnie's camp as being in the know. The whole thing seems a bit odd to me. I would have thought they'd want to get whatever open during the high season.

I'm watching and waiting patiently on Bonnie's next update :popcorn:

It's between a couple of people. No decision as to who will be taking it over is expected to be made for a bit.

Bonny is on it as she usually is. I am sure that she is right too, in who she thinks will open there.


It doesn't just happen with a snap of the fingers. The building, the shell is there but it looks like a Fridays, it has to be remodeled to fit the new owners criteria. I say owner because it will be rented to the business that will run it as a restaurant. This usually means amassing the money, getting the loan for the business with all that entails, or if it is a chain, making the decision to open another location which too requires a lot of money.


Someone just doesn't turn up with a chef jacket and say. O.K. I'll take this on. I remember talking to the woman at the Lighthouse who was manager there for many years when the Morse's owned the restaurant.(They still own the building) She was saving for a long time to buy the business and finally was able to do so.


I am amazed sometimes at people saying as I read recently something close to this, "The Orange Blossom Restaurant was there when people in the area bought their homes and it should be reopened at once."

You have to open it before you see what's in it:thumbup:

I love it............................:BigApplause:
