closure rate in GF is much Higher than Fargo, come on you know that! now as to why..who knows maybe people just stay home more in GF, I have always said in my 25 years living in Fargo that people love to go out and eat here, maybe the city is hard to work with I don't know but something has to cause it.
Taco Johns went down as a franchise, they were terribly mismanaged, never knew if they would be open or not oh and shitholes, sounds like they are trying to find a new Franchisee, but investors are not big into the resurrection type thing now days, especially here in Fargo where there is literally a Taco/Mexican place on every street. they would rather bring a new concept in.
Three Lyons..lol that place was plagued with employee problems for years they even had to close because none of the staff showed up for a few days in boycott of bad wages and terrible management.
Fargo in General has really great establishments, there will always be closures but the rate of new opening vs closing is reaching pre 2020 range again. I personally would rather see the Fast food places downsize as i eat 90% local or regional chain (Luckys, Doolittles, Crave, Ect)
I still wonder how the hell GF could not keep a Hu Hot open...
