Waldo Peppers

Mr. V · 12-01-2009, 02:48 AM

The implosion and failure of Waldo Peppers underscores just how difficult it is to make a go of it in the restaurant business, most especially in a down economy.

The prior owners were successful because they were there, hands on, they really worked it, had a good product, and they made a concerted effort to provide good cheer and to connect with customers.

Barb's presence on this board didn't hurt.

The new owners seemed to be MIA, and left the day to day operation of the place up to hourly employees, with predictable results.

RIP Waldo Pepper, may you fly to infinity and beyond ...
