Menchie’s in Steiner Ranch is closing.
Ordinarily, I would not post about this, as it is a chain yogurt place that I don’t hang out at.
However, one of our local throwaway papers did an interview with the owners, and it is kind of a greatest hits compilation.
Reasons for closing:
- Can’t get help, especially during the weekdays.
- The owners want to spend more time with
their familytheir other two locations. - Unable to get a break on the rent.
- The landlords suck. “We have other locations with 10x more car traffic and 3x more foot traffic and rent here is the same price.”
- More on that theme: their location did good business when there was a restaurant across the street. But the landlords can’t keep a restaurant in that space. I can attest to this: in my time here, I think I’ve seen at least four come and go.
