Nagem says he's going to keep the restaurants open and plans to reopen the Central Sammy's Grill in the New Year. That store was forced to close before Thanksgiving when a pipe burst. As far as the pay-check problem, Nagem says he's still working through the current financial issues and ask for support from his customers. He offered the following statement to WBRZ.

To overcome our current financial issues, we are striving to continue to operate as we have for the past 32 years, taking great care of our guests, which will help us re-establish the great working environment we have provided for the hundreds of college students, working mothers, veterans, those transitioning back into society, and high school students on their first jobs that we employ. Over the years we have supported and continue to support our employees and our community in times of need and now we are asking for the support of our patrons, local businesses, and media in our time of need.

At the time this story was published, Richardson says he still had not heard back from Sammy's management and he has not received the rest of his paycheck.

The Prairieville location did not open for dinner Thursday night.

The employees of Sammys other business, Creole Cabana recently refused to work until he paid them as well.

Sammy's started going downhill when Gravy Chambers badmouthed them and got Judge banned from Highland location. I will not give him credit though.

He’s been shite with money for a while. Sammy fired a long time GM because he got tired of paying the guy.

A worker was killed while building Creole Cabana. I do not know if Sammy faced any legal fines/liability for the incident but it may be one of many factors.

Definitely a wtf scenario. The Highland location always looks like it has a crowd based off of the parking lot. Only thing I can think of at that location is that the Sammy's clientele is going down the road to Superior instead.

Not that I ever went to Sammy’s anyway, but I haven’t been since Superior opened. Was wondering if it took a toll.

The entire bar area at Superior is the same people all the time, myself included. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them came from Sammy’s. Never asked.
