Landlords are a blight on society

There’s more to this. Commercial leases aren’t negotiated two weeks before the renewal date. They’re settled months in advance. A landlord can’t just say “oh in two weeks, you’re out.”
If they lost their lease, it was months ago and they’ve been taking reservations regardless with full knowledge. If it‘s a case of there being some building violation causing a shutdown, it would be immediate.

Commercial leases are long term so wonder what the actual reason is for the immediate closure.

We went a few weeks ago. I honestly didn’t care for it much. I miss when roberta’s used to have escalated menu specials.

I thought they were affiliated with Roberta’s and surely Roberta’s just owns that whole space? They had a big promo in January because they weren’t filling up. I suspect it just wasn’t doing well so they’re shutting down.
Curious what happened. I remember when Victoria Blamey’s previous spot Mena which I loved also shut down suddenly

A lot of drama out of this crew. I guess that’s all restaurants, though.

This is a little confusing… isn’t Blanca just a section carved out of the Roberta’s space? There wouldn’t be a separate lease on it. Is Roberta’s shutting down?

In general, landlords don’t want successful businesses to close. Busy places mean more percentage rent
When did you see a post like this from a cheesecake factory?

Roberta’s takeout was located in the same building and closed last summer because it wasn’t profitable.
