Firehouse Subs in downtown Lincoln closed over the weekend, just short of its two year anniversary.
We were making money but not enough to justify the time and effort spepatagonia shoes cheap0nt doing it, owner Mike Shanahan said in an email. Sales were decent but not great, and we were up doubpatagonia better sweater walnutle digit percentages the second half of this year. Ultimately, we felt our time and resources were better spent on other projects rather than expanding the brand.
Firehouse, located at 1317 Q. St., opened in December 2012 and was known for its hot specpatagonia wetsuits for sale australiaialty subs, multiple sauces and unique patagonia shoes cheap1firefipatagonia shoes cheapghter related decor, including a hand painted mural.
Shanahan said all employees were paid in full. He also said he had already found jobs for a couple of them.
The Tilted Kilt at Gateway Mall is closed. There are signs taped up outside and no one is answering the phone.
My colleague here at the Journal Star, Riley Johnson, uncovered a lawsuit by patagonia boots reviewthe mall s owners accusing the owners of Tilted Kilt of not paying rent and not reimbursing them fopatagonia store parisr improvements.
On Nov. 6, Star West Gateway LLC, the Delaware based compatagonia shoes cheap2pany that owns the mall, sued MLogic Holdings, the Illinois company that operates the repatagonia discount code 2014staurant in Lincoln, alleging that the company hadn t paid rent for six months and hadn t paid the mall for more than $400,000 in improvements.
MLogic Holdings was ordered to vacate its suite in the mall Friday, according to court documents filed in the Lancaster County District Court. A trial in the case is set for Dec. 4.
I spoke with Chad Becwar, general manapatagonia sun gloves reviewger of Gateway Mall, who confirmed that Tilted Kilt is closed for good. Becwar said he could not comment on the lawsuit or the reasons why the restaurant closed.
Here are some developments in business downtown:
I got an update from the franchisees who are opening Tom+Chee and the Pretzelmaker in the Larson Building at 1317 Q St.
Cindy Manley, who along with her husband, Mike, owns the local franchise rights to the two restaurants, said Pretzelmaker should open around sometime around Dec. 10, while Tom+Chee will open Dec. 19.
Tom+Chee is a gourmet grille cheese restaurant that is also known for its grilled cheese doughnuts. Pretzelmaker serves soft pretzels, pretzels dogs and pretzel pizza rolls.
A new yoga studio opened up on the alley side of the former Bank of the West building at 1314 O St., across the alley from Barrymore s.
Dunkin Donuts filed a building permit Monday for a second location. The permit does not list an address, but I have to assume it s going to be at 84th and Old Cheney, which is where a second site has been talked about. I ve contacted the local franchisee but have yet to hear back.
Based on how long it took the first one to open, I would guess it would be summer or fall before the second one opens.
A building permit filed last week indicates Dickey s Barbecue is planning another location neapatagonia shoes cheap3r 84th and Holdrege.
That would be the fourth location for Dickey s in Lincoln. The others are downtown at 12th and P, at 27th and Cornhusker and at Apple s Way at 62nd and Nebraskapatagonia discount code microsoft 2.
The company that owns Blue Sushi Sake Grill, which has a Lincoln location in the Courtyard by Marriott hotel at 808 R St., filed a building permit for another restaurant in the same building.
No one can complain about our warm extended autumn with one of the best shows of leaf color in recent memory.
But last night was a reminder that winter can roll in pretty quickly. I spent Sunday wrapping up the last of my outdoor jobs that needed to be done before the run of cold days we are expecting.
Here is my list and I d advise homeowners check off as many of these as possible today and tomorrow:
Make a last pick of your garden s produce. It may be late, but we were able to get some late ripening peppers and they will be great in soups and casseroles.
Turn off the outside water spigots and disconnect the hoses. Water lines freeze and this week patagonia guide jacket carharttwill be cold enough for that to happen. Drain automatic sprinkler systems too.
Even though neither company will publicly acknowledge it, the plan to tear down the Macaroni Grill at SouthPointe Pavilions at 27th and Pine Lake and replace it with a Chick Fil A continues to move forward.
Edwards Hotchkiss Architects of Brentwood, Tennessee, filed a $700,000 building permit Wednesday for the demolition of the existing Macaroni Grill and construction of a new Chick Fil A restaurant with dual order stations.
From what I hear, Macaroni Grill employees are still in the dark on when the restaurant will close, which is unfortunate. With permits already filed to tear it down, I would guess it won t be open much longer.
Hexagon Composites reported an increase in its third quarter profits, but the company said demand for some of the products made in Linpatagonia map driving directionscoln declined.
