It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment.

Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

“We always called her Joi,” Charlotte Autry, Marilyn Joi Base’s childhood best friend, told Dateline. “She was, absolutely, a joy.”. Charlotte thinks fondly of the childhood she spent alongside Joi in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, just outside of Tulsa. She talked about the blissful, slow-paced lifestyle they led as young girls — running around the farmland behind their properties, playing with horses, and singing in church. “[Joi’s family] had a ditch in their backyard, and they had a swing on a rope — and we would swing over that ditch,” she said. “It was a blast.”
