They were welcomed into the family and still all these years later are around.
When he sold the restaurants the selling point was the business built up by him. The clientele and the employees. He was approached with an offer that was to good to be true.
One is still going the other is long gone. Guess which one kept the same game plan my brother started and the one who cut corners.Barney

Barney that always amazes me, last place I worked was great, we made money, management and staff alike, it was a fun place to work. Then a big company bought us and proceeded to change everything that made the place successful, just because it did not fit their corporate image,
