Wow. This is the worst since Covid.
Is it, though? Thinking back this is what was directly attributed to COVID:
Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant
Applebee's
Fuddruckers
Red Lobster
Rice Garden
Subway (Southgate location)
(+ Altitude Trampoline Park)
(+ Gordmans)
(+ Stein Mart)
These are the restaurants that we lost recently for any reason:
Casa Ole
Fargo's Pit BBQ
Hooters
Imperial Chinese Restaurant
Mo's Irish Pub
(+ Edible Arrangements)
Howdy's Pizza
Mad Taco
Wayback Burgers
Mr. Hamburger
World of Beer
Last Shot Expresso
IHOP
Kettle in CS
Amico Nave ? (Medians)

Restaurants have always come and gone here, often in waves. Famous BBQ casualties: Tom's, Pop's, Randy Sims…probably missing a few more.
Medians was not the issue, because they are moving Shipwreck into that space. Aren't they both owned by the same family?
The restaurant business is hard in the best of times. A slight adjustment to the cost of food, supplies, labor, or rent will kill a lot of them. Especially local places that can't rely on more successful stores in other locations to offset temporary (?) increases.
I should've put a winky face beside that one. Yes, husband and wife own the pair is my understanding.
Hey, didn't the crazy economy kill Charlie Mac's trailer too?

3C was big when I was a way younger man
Bring back the Grapevine
The heat and his health had a bigger impact, I think.
I miss their chicken salad
Well, you can't just start throwing in every restaurant that closed in the last four years, that obfuscates every trend and makes any comparisons meaningless.Hornbeck said:

Yes, I added the photo to this thread, but someone else said it was to get rid of inventory. I don't know myself.Goose83 said:Imperial reportedly reopened back on June 27th.PS3D said:techno-ag said:

Howdy's was COVID. The others are more recent, like in the past 12-18 months, IIRC. Can't blame COVID for World of Beer or Mr. Hamburger.
What I'm saying is, the trend started in the past year to year and a half.

My apologies. Would explain why there's been radio silence since then.PS3D said:Yes, I added the photo to this thread, but someone else said it was to get rid of inventory. I don't know myself.Goose83 said:

Website does say they aren't currently taking orders, but to check back.
Who knows (hoping against hope).
Imperial is having a soft reopening. One of the owners left and there's been some slight changes to the menu. I'm hoping to get over there in the next week or so.
La Bodega has signs up at old Mad Taco.
News reports say MOD pizza parent company is declaring chapter 11 this coming week. Unclear if all or some locations will close. Would seem unlikely that all would close in a chapter 11.

They never recovered from the shut down. We still miss their pizza.
We loved it. Those fried jalapeños !
The Brussel Crowe was my absolute favorite.
How about looking at businesses opening/closing at the newer properties. I would assume these places are upper tier on cost per sq ft.
Towerpoint
Caprock
Century Square
Jones Crossing
Which one of these has a better business success/retention record?
Opinions on why?
Strengths / Weakness of each

My wife still misses the street corn pizza from Howdy's.
So good. The Blue Baker one is okay but not nearly as good.
I like a lot of things at Blue Baker but man their prices have soared.

Must have been December 2022. Moved back in July of '22 and it was definitely still open then. Good pizza, absolutely terrible service

So what killed Naked Fish? Recent, not COVID, also not in your list.

I'm an idiot, I moved in 2021
Last time I went, I had an Earl sandwich, the wife had a small pizza, two drinks and we split a cookie and it was $40 and that is ridiculous.maroon barchetta said:

Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet coming to Century Square. Love their location in Richardson!

Can't wait for this one!
I think I remember them saying it was rent.
