Business is all about location. Unless you got the money and operation that you can afford to keep going either year round or limited off season hours and do not need to take anything out to live on, they fail.
John C, nobody is trashing anybody here. But when you see the same type, in this case, restaurant in the same place that others fail in, poor location is a high likelyhood. What are the demagraphics along hwy 229? How many are full time residents?

We wish them all well. Really do. But the reality is most of these mom n pop out of the beaten path restaurants are nothing but thiefs stealing someones dream money. Too often underfunded to start with, need to take a salary to pay personal bills with as they no longer work for someone else. Really, not much hope to make it into October let alone survive the whole winter. Thems just facts. Wishihng won't change that at all.

Do I blame the owners of the buildings? Not really. But alot of people have chased a dream in these places around the lake, only to find heartache and loss of their savings at the end. Somewhere, they did not seek out or did not get good financial advise.
