New Franchisee thinks they’ve got what it takes
UPDATE (Feb. 1, 2012): Evos Midtown reopens, yawns, closes again
EVOS Restaurant will reopen its Midtown location in February 2011, according to a sign recently posted on the restaurant’s main entrance.
Located at 855 Peachtree Street at Viewpoint, the restaurant closed on Oct. 28 (story here).
“You have spoken and we have listened. EVOS is pleased to announce that we will be re-opening our doors in February 2011 under new management.”
But who spoke up that they were listening to? Cash cows don’t close. Failing restaurants that nobody eats at do.
And as attractive as it might be to reopen a preestablished restaurant, we’d personally like to meet the franchisee who thinks that they can run a failing location for this failing concept.
The hiring process for the location began on Dec. 13, when the restaurant placed an ad on Craigslist.org (story here).
It will be interesting to see how the restaurant fares against 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, slated to open directly across the street at Spire in early 2011.
What’s you think? Can new management breath life into EVOS Viewpoint?
