Times service was always slow and sometimes food wasn't cooked correctly.
BJ's is a great place to sit at the bar, eat and drink some good beer.
Arbys is high prced fast food and poor service.

Times Grill Shut down to a lease dispute. The lease was ending in Jan 2011, and the rent for that location was $13 k a month!! The owner spent the last three months trying to negociate a new lease, but the landlord was not budging. The $13 k a month rent was the agreement back in 2005, well times have changed. Sales were good, but $13 k a month is high for any business. Another one will open in baton rouge within a year or so.

You have to start somewhere with posts. potent357 im sure you had one post at some time or another. Word on the street is alot of the good servers from the market st location will be coming over to essen, while the bad servers from essen, (from what i hear is most of them), will be gone. It seems like some of the mgmt will be changing as well.

OK .. so these guys signed a lease for $13K a month that ran thru Jan 2011 ... The landlord didn't go up on the lease in 2006 & 2007 when the place was printing money .. so why go down when things allegedly slowed down ?? Business NEVER waned for that place .. ownership just started spending more $$$ on themselves and the good life ... the scum didn't even have the decency to tell employees they were closing .. they found out when they showed up for work and furniture was being loaded on a truck .. wasn't a fricking lease dispute .. just douchebags that started pocketing the gross and didn't wanna live up to their end of a legit business contract ..

Ok..I see your point. But, wouldn't it have been in the landlords best interest to extend a lease for maybe 10 additional years at a lower rate, than to lose a business out of his building. My Dad owns commercial property, and he always taught me to compromise...that way you keep "paying" tennants. Even if it was at a lower rate.

Times Grill's 2nd post was somewhat of a letdown for me. I'm hoping his 3rd post responding to Rag's post will be a little more entertaining.

Should be interesting, Rag didn't pull too many punches.

I doubt that he will show. Someone needs to shove a cajun sunrise up his arse.
What does Hokie Gajan think about all of this?

if the landlord was raising the rent at the end of the current contract and the tenant says "i can stay at the current rate, but if you go up on me, i have to go" .. then, yes .. in this climate, that particular landlord isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer ..
but when you have a tenant that has a steady, consistent business that was having no problem paying a lease that was contractually agreed upon suddenly tell you that they will no longer be able to pay that much and want a reduced rate after the contract .. no, that's just crap and i don't blame a landlord in that instance for drawing the line in the sand ... then, why jump your lease 10 months before the end date ?? there was something else going on $$$ with this ... the times just played with leverage it thought it had but obviously didn't ...
that is a good location that is basically tailor made now for another restaurant .. they will have no problem leasing that soon ...

I see your point...but, I also know from experience with our commercial property. There isn't much happening out there in the form of new or expanding business. We are reducing rates for a few tenants before the end of the lease because they have been good payers, and we want to keep them. Nothing says bad location like an empty building or space in a strip. I think the land owners are going to be hard pressed to get that spacific of a tenant in that building...I mean you need a "chilis" type operation to go there. Someone could come in with a big renovation, and the land owner may have to give up some TI money...then he is out cash flow again.
Like I said, we believe that we need to help nurture our existing tenants through this economy and mayby into the next 10 years or so...our property is paid for, and we just want to keep it fully occupied.

oh, i completely understand where you are coming from ... and especially with property that is paid for .. at that point i would certainly do what i had to do to keep a good paying tenant in your spaces ... i don't know what types of business you have on your property .. but i know in the restaurant biz, you can get a pretty good gauge as to how a business is doing ... i understand that the land owner just wasn't willing to drop the lease as far as the times wanted to go with it because i am guessing they knew the business had not dropped off and also i guess they just didn't want to set a precedent where they would just want to renegotiate a lower lease every six months thereafter ...
but i totally agree with your points .. particularly relative to how they affect your tenants ..
