So youre saying that the reason for the closing was Samuels Restaurants own fault and not the economy?

Sammy's employees had been with him for years and pretty much ran the place. He was mainly a figurehead. I can tell you from first hand experience that when someone runs a family type business and dies people assume the business closes. Even though a family member has been working in the business and running it to a certain degree. People tell me all the time they thought we would be closed since my dad died. Hell, my dad ate at Sammy's since it was in Mall City, and Sammy stopped coming around after he died. People do strange things.

I used to run it for him when he'd go to Vegas.

I think it was just the family didn't want to run it. I'm sure someone else could do it. His place had a loyal breakfast and lunch clientele and he opened for evening meetings as I've been to a couple there. Not the ecomony in my opinion.

I'd put money on this.

I would imagine someone else will reopen it or open as something else. It was a steady place and really a good location for breakfast and lunch. We need more breakfast places.
