Dairy King
Dairy King, a family-owned restaurant located at 306 E Thompson Lane in Nashville, will permanently close in a few days. The Jones family has operated the Dairy King for the last fifty years.
Via Facebook, they stated, “Due to circumstances beyond our control, effective August 3, the Dairy King will cease operations until further notice. Under the current conditions, we simply cannot make ends meet. We lost all catering jobs the second week of March. We cater to churches, schools, and offices so no explanation is necessary. That is 25% of our sales. We are maintaining 70% to 75% of our normal restaurant sales which translates to a 50% loss of income. We cannot pay 100% of our expenses with 50% of our income. The funding we received in April from the SBA has also been exhausted.”
Bar Otaku
Bar Otaku, the restaurant was located in the Gulch at 505 12th Avenue South in Nashville, has closed its doors.
Via Facebook, they announced their closure, “Thank you NASHVILLE, it’s time for us to say goodbye to Bar Otaku. We set out a year ago to give Nashville a fun, vibrant Izakaya that both reminded us of Japan, and claimed a stake for the American Izakaya. We are proud to say that we did just that, but business requires hard decisions, and for us that means it’s time to place 100% of our love, attention to building more Otaku Ramen’s both in Nashville and beyond.”
At the end of their message, it sounds like their space will not be vacant for long.
“Stay tuned as we have the amazing privilege to introduce you to the next tenant in the space in coming days, as we will help them prepare to become a beloved part of the Nashville community. We cant wait for you to meet them.”
