Sorry, but it sounds as if you are trying to put lipstick on a pig.

Why would a restaurant that is SUCCEEDING need to rebrand?

Rebranding is a common "reset" restaurants do. Ask anyone in the restaurant business.
And there's also no evidence at all they're doing this because they were "mean to conservatives" -- this whole narrative is just another shining example of how conservatives love to see themselves as victims and martyrs.
Reminder the Red Hen actually had an INCREASE in customers after they kicked out Huckabee.

Businesses often get a short-term "boost" from supporters when they get a lot of free publicity.

The relevant question is NOT whether they got a month or three of boosted patronage. They question is whether they saw more or less business over the full five years since the incident.

Of course, the restaurant business is VERY cyclical, and the restaurant concept that survives and thrives unchanged for more than a few years is the exception to the rule. That COULD explain the re-branding, but it might not, too. Silly to just ASSUME either way.

Gina Carano says “hi”.

Trump got pushed off Twitter too, by the way, I’m sure you think that was wholly justified. Nothing political there.

Nice way to deflect from the unprofessional and ugly behavior of leftists. It shows who and what they truly are. Very fascist of the owner, but then the left is fascism, and violence. Of course you're not explaining why they are relaunching. If they had more customers why change?

They're simply closing for a few weeks and re-branding.

Because that’s what you do when your restaurant is successful.

As someone that has owned several restaurants/bars, a successful restaurateur would never do this.

You are BOTH correct.

And there is NO EVIDENCE in this thread that THIS rebranding either WAS or WAS NOT a result of the Sarah Sanders incident.

Sure you did! Owners don’t re-brand a successful business. But you know one that did it 3 times. If he re-branded 3 times, it was because it was consistently unsuccessful.

Successful people typically don’t change what’s working.

I'm in the restaurant/service industry. This is just not true.

A successful business that has not transferred ownership to another party would not shut down to rebrand.

Idiot.

One of the keys to success in business is when you have a successful brand that is bringing in the business and money, shut it down and then rebrand it.
