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.

Two much anticipated safe outdoor parking spaces for people experiencing homelessness in Denver won’t be opening after all. A contract with Colorado Safe Parking Initiative will become final at Tuesday’s Mayor-City Council meeting. The new contract removes the requirement for the initiative to add two more lots serving a total of 16 vehicles. That leaves just two lots that the initiative already operates. The city will pay $350,000 for the initiative to operate the lots.
