Someone should write a book about this guys business success and failure. It’s like every other year they’re opening, closing, or filing for a different bankruptcy.
Don’t give Scotty any ideas!
Next thing you know he will be running for president.
whets not spoken is the wages…what was he paying…and his target employees… To bad the reporter did not ask..
Interesting . . . How long has George’s been at that same intersection?
Or Blind Owl slightly South?
It’s not really at that intersection. You can’t see it from Binford like you can with George’s or Blind Owl.
It’s a bad location
GT Souths somehow lasted there for 25 years
So…”the location wasn’t as enticing to Binford motorists as we’d hoped” but they closed due to staffing issues. Riiiight. Could it have been quality of food and service, maybe, that caused the location to be less desirable to Binford motorists as well as neighborhood residents?
wrong product, maybe wrong location. GT Souths was there for a long time, the bar right down the strip has been around for awhile. Based on my experience, there was little reason for a family to go there as opposed to George’s. Overall, I was never impressed with the place; nothing stood out in my mind to make me think of going there. Just like his other restaurant.
We live about 1.5 miles south of this location. We wanted it to work. We tried it at least six times. It was busy in the beginning, but clientele began to fall off within several months. We never had a meal where they got everything right. The service was terrible. In my opinion, a direct reflection on management. Several other restaurants in the Binford corridor from 62nd Street to 71st Street have seemed to survive during this same time period.
I think it’s that area – we always have mediocre at best service at blind owl but the food and atmosphere are great so it keeps us going back
This guy obviously has a knack for opening restaurants. Unfortunately for him, he seems to be better at closing them.
Never like to see businesses fail, especially local. I’m sure there are many factors at play, including wages.
Wonder if the history of his restaurants crashing and burning would have any impact on the desire of employees to come on board with his restaurants. The way the Brewhouse franchising operation was handled soured my view on Scott and this unfortunately doesn’t surprise me.
“The location at 71st and Binford was just far enough away from the main Binford corridor that we didn’t do the business we projected”
Commercial Real Estate Broker Scott Wise gave Restaurateur Scott Wise bad real estate advice.
Looks more like a place to find plumbing fittings than a bar/restaurant.
Carmel location is far from being the type of facility of his predecessor (SOME GUYS). for the area demographics he needs to study and understand them. Seating poor, no ambiance. Food mediocre.
If Steak ‘n Shake can survive there then they should of been able too, big space opened up for lease across by Kroger could of been an option for better visibility.
