Marie Calendar's is Closed

[sauerkraut]

I never went to Marie Calendar's, but I heard the company will now close ALL Perkin's restaurants, they are popular in Ohio and Indiana they are open 24/7. I wonder what will become of all those vacant Perkins Restaurant buildings. WoW.

Report I saw on channel 2 also cited the road construction in the area hurting all the business at 51st and Harvard. Have people gotten to lazy or just scared driving into a construction zone? I have no problem getting to El Tequila.

I avoid that area- It's just choked with traffic and for long peroids of time. Who wants to wait in traffic just to shop at some store when you go elsewhere to shop and avoid the long waits. I think Tulsa has too much road work going on all at once. They need to at least wait till one major project is done before starting another. The mess on highway 75 is looking bad, that should be put off till I-44 is finished.

They are not closing all the locations.

The owner of the Perkins and Marie Callender's restaurant chains filed for bankruptcy Monday with plans to close 65 of its 600 locations and cut 2,500 jobs, according to court documents.

Read an article for a change. The whole article.

"I have to leave now? It's a birthday party with 25 guests. You're joking right?"

I have to head that way today. Dreading it already. And you are right. I am really fed up with all these projects taking place at once.

Easy to do when you don't live in Tulsa.

Name a place to shop in that area.
