DonRocks Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Not closed permanently...or so the owner says. "Bethesda Barbecue Company Closed for 'Repairs / Renovations'" by Steve Hull on bethesdamagazine.com I went to summer camp with Chef Dennis and this therefore makes me sad, but looks like they are permanently close. Dennis--good luck on your next venture. "Bethesda Barbecue Company Confirmed as Being Restaurant Being Liquidated / Closed at Auction" by Robert Dyer on robertdyer.blogspot.com Could someone in the business please explain for us why, if it's absolutely clear that a restaurant isn't going to reopen, they say "Closed for renovations?" Is it to stave off creditors? Are there some other reasons? I can see an owner wanting to hang on until all possible avenues have been explored, but this happens nearly *every time* a restaurant closes. So what are the possible reasons a restaurant would do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBooneJr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So what are the possible reasons a restaurant would do this? It's an (often futile) attempt to maintain the business' goodwill while the owner tries to sell or otherwise figure out what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
