Closure doesn't mean they lacked business. Just lacked enough business to justify sky high rents that bumped each year and they probably were approaching the last year of a 5 year lease right now.SBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-2289455783017643752014-02-12T17:56:01.209-05:002014-02-12T17:56:01.209-05:00@Westsides,

A few other things are in the works, not sure what all will be added. The Sunlow building over on Howell Mill will also see redevelopment in the coming months. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments and for your readership.

Quality went down and competition (Tin Lizzy's, Chuy's) went up.

Their location on Holcomb Bridge (in a location that's been Drexel, Discovery Zone, and a Halloween store) is closing, after maybe a year.<br /><br />That seems typical for them. Best I can tell, they're using the same business model Steve & Barry's did - getting cut rate leases and closing as soon as the rate goes up (or even getting cash kickbacks for leasing the space). That's just as assumption...J Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729933968705442483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-1604339112397398342014-02-11T07:24:37.601-05:002014-02-11T07:24:37.601-05:00Not to surprised about 5 Guys.

I am not sure what would be a good replacement for them, probably something non food related. While we are n the topic of Perimeter Place, what ever happened to the planned Mad Bull's Tavern(former Cheeseburger in Paradise spot)? THe CBP signage is still up. <br /> Glennoreply@blogger.com
