restaurants are really tough to sell also. The best ones are almost always

good because the owners are always around. If they're going to be around, they may as well own it. They are the greatest asset, and there's no way to price that. ** Edited by reestuart at 7/28/2025, 4:28:06 PM

Yep. My favorite restaurant in Athens is a jerk chicken place.
RoswellGAHokie • 07/28/25 04:31 PM ET
Why are you calling the owners jerks?
EDGEMAN • 07/28/25 05:39 PM ET
Yeah, we had a really good restaurant in our neighborhood that sold a few

A restaurant can be popular but be poorly managed and unprofitable.

A place we like is closing because of a divorce among the owners
