The number one reason of restaurants fail is that, too many items on the menu, overzealous management and nasty attitudes. I hope Shelly's Mom got her money back.

If the food was that great, it would have carried over to the restaurant, no matter what a clueless, childish, ungrateful dictator she is. I feel bad for mother Mary, losing her life savings. I wish that the show would have taken the money they spent redecorating and refurbishing and just given to Mary, for her retirement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857758729220478009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-11965006934205461282016-01-30T20:47:14.486+00:002016-01-30T20:47:14.486+00:00Got to remember that many of those 60% close a lot...Got to remember that many of those 60% close a lot later than they would otherwise and more of them end up selling (possibly realising that owning a restaurant is not for them).David Gaynorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410797284065356929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-59246806860163505602015-12-26T23:34:53.084+00:002015-12-26T23:34:53.084+00:00I don't know if 60% of these restaurants close...I don't know if 60% of these restaurants closes.

Blackberries and other restaurants like Zekes were lucky to have talented, intelligent staff, especially their chefs and the owners were too stupid and were too full of themselves to let them do their jobs so they were destined to fail and selfishly took away their employees' livelihoods and their families' money. I hope GR helped those talented chefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-43465669887440272752014-06-10T21:40:29.783+01:002014-06-10T21:40:29.783+01:00Shelly gave way to what was beforehand.

It's always a shame when any business closes because of a lack of revenue even if the owner is derelict. Her mother should not have invested her retirement savings in a business like her daughters. I wonder what Shelly will do to support her now that she has lost all of her mothers retirement. Maybe her 30 year old husband can find a real job instead of playing manager.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-88138094993171867242014-05-13T21:06:06.354+01:002014-05-13T21:06:06.354+01:00What a rude owner she did not deserve the help she...What a rude owner she did not deserve the help she got Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-70078360879777702902014-04-13T17:42:15.460+01:002014-04-13T17:42:15.460+01:00No surprise this restaurant closed.
