Bad management I guess.

wouldn't surprise me... have always gotten pretty bad service there, although i've only ever been a couple of times

good food tho... charlotte will miss that place. was always at the top of peoples lists when you asked someone where to eat here.

My wife is texting me saying the land owners won't renew the lease and are going to take it away from the guys who started it.

Last day is Oct. 24th

Can anyone confirm this? I mean, I trust my wife and all, I just don't want to believe it.

[Jase]

Well if it's a real estate issue and not a profit issue, chances are pretty good they would resume business somewhere else. Just a guess.

[Jbro]

That landlord is a dipshit.

[hepcat]

Wow Charlotte loses a piece of its history

[Crixtala]

That landlord is a dippoo.

That landlord is a dipshit.

Depends on how much he's selling the land for.

Though it's not ideal, I'm sure there are no shortages of places they can move to.

Pinkys at the intersection of freedom and moorehead will be opening pretty soon and is run/managed by folks who used to run the penguin. Will be very similar from the looks of things. Perhaps a possible replacement.

Yes, your wife is correct. They are in a dispute over how much they are paying for the lease. The guys who own the building apparently own the name the Penguin as well, so they can't take it with them.

They have already bought land down the street and are opening a new place called the Diamond that will be pretty much identical, just cant be called the Penguin.

Heres a link somewhat explaining, p.s. I love fried pickles

The owners are screwing them over and are going to take a business they built, kick them out, and run it themselves from what I understand. I hope they lose their butts. Thats just WRONG! There is a big party 10/24 and Im going!
