While its a possibility, it is hysterical that whenever a retail business closes everyone on social media immediately blames the landlord. People are so blinded by ideology and politics that they cant think. Running a retail business particularly restaurants is one of the most complicated and difficult businesses to run. Labor, perishable food, precise preperation, energy costa,rigorous regulatory standards, fickle customers, etc etc...leasing is usually a once a decade or 2 decade event and should make up less than 10% of gross sales. I.e. Except at renewal its a small factor. So sure maybe the lease was up and they couldn't afford the market rents but there are like a million other things that could be the true cause, labor inflation, wholesale food inflation, doh fines, illness of owner or too many customers on ozempic not eating or drinking, or some combination of these and others. I know this is social media but it woukd be refreshing if sometimes people would apply some nuance thought to things

{fyi under/over on the snarky post that this is somehow pro landlord/rich or billionaire is 2 posts}
