“The sports bar at SW 4th and Morrison closed Thursday. Bar officials said the City of Portland gave them no choice but to close after they’ve sought increased security for employees and customers for 4 years. And they said the city is not interested in discussing the problems with them.”
I wouldn’t say the city.
Police have pretty much abandoned downtown.
Super mediocre food for prices not worth the end result. I’m ok with this it just sucks that we’ll probably have yet another vacant retail space downtown contributing to the emptiness.
These are closing around the nation. Not sure as some of them were pretty busy.
Just to provide a reference for all the people who want to downvote.
Net earnings plunged 38.2 percent at Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 25, the company said on Tuesday, as same-store sales continued to struggle.
This is probably worsened by the lack of foot traffic downtown as well.
Damn. I didn’t know it was that bad. I travel often for work and I’ve noticed a lot of them closed. It isn’t unique to Portland. They always seemed to do good business but it appears they didn’t. Thank you for the link.
