[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel really bad when an old restaurant or store closes, but then I realize that I haven't been there in years. I like the idea of them being around more than I do actually patronizing them. [/quote]

This right here.[/quote]

Lots of us patronized them though. With marketing, they could have amped out further. The issue no doubt is the rent. Rumor is that AU was charging 40 grand a month for the Surfside space. Imagine Sullivan's space is steep too. OKAY, but not it will probably sit empty and AU will write it off. Wish they could lower the rent and enable a SMALL BUSINESS to remain in the neighborhood.[/quote]

I mean you could be right, but there is a small coffee shop and a UPS store on the same level, so I don't understand how the rent is the only issue and it's all AU's fault.  Surfside is in a huge space so the rent of course would be higher and they are also a small local business, but they seem to have figured out how to make money hand over fist.  [/quote]

Why do you think that Surfside is printing money? It is a huge spot and it took a huge pandemic hit as well.

My family has tried to support it because we want something to survive in that spot.

I hope that they make it and I hope that their food gets better.[/quote]
