Well, that didn't last long.
After opening in November 2013, Bagger Dave's at 1224 Randolph in downtown Detroit, near Greektown, has shut, The Detroit News and other media report.
It's the second franchise restaurant to close in downtown Detroit in recent months. Olga's Kitchen folded its Compuware Building site in early September.
Melody Baetens reports at The News a Southfield-based owner of several Bagger Dave’s burger franchises has closed eight restaurants, including the downtown one.
Diversified Restaurant Holdings Inc. has 18 remaining Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern locations, as well as 60 Buffalo Wild Wings locations, she writes. It owns the Buffalo Wild Wings next to Bagger Dave's downtown.
The locations were “under performing,” Eddie Bard, DRH’s director of marketing, tells the News. “As part of our strategic grown plan we had to close them to better allocate resources.” -- Allan Lengel
