First Donatos now Fazoli's

It's crazy all these chains going out of business locally.  I work in Oviedo and there are a ton of empty lease spaces.  I feel bad for the small business owners.

I can't believe all the closings in the Oviedo Marketplace too!! Sad

Re: First Donatos now Fazoli's

  • I know!  B and I went over to Hunter's Creek for July 4th weekend.  We were going to go to Moe's for lunch because we thought we saw them putting one in over there.  NOPE!  They were closing it down.  And they closed Donato's, and 2 more places in that shopping plaza had paper over the windows and locked doors!  I felt so bad 'cuz it's such a cute area.  Why is everything going under??  I heard all the Donato's in Orlando are going under, which is a bummer because they had great lunch specials and were right next to B's work..  But I didn't know about Fazoli's!!  This really sucks!  We ended up going to Coldstone for a treat instead!  At least they didn't take that away from us!!!
  • I know! That sucks. I never got to try Donato's before they closed all of them. I'm trying to make it to Fazoli's before they close them all. They already closed the closest one to me on University.
  • Are all of the Fazoli's closing? That would suck. We really like them for a quick cheap dinner.?

    You're lucky - the Cold Stone in the Villages just shut down!  Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

  • The Cold Stone at University and Goldenrod closed down 3-4 months ago too.

    Not to mention Krispy Kreme on University, Old Germany Restaurant, Fazoli's on University, Donatos on Univeristy and Dean, and Donatos on Red Bug..... the list continues and continues. It's so depressing and sad.

  • The quizno's (sp??) by our house closed down too.  I actually liked their subs! MMMM..Toasty!

  • There are quite a few restaurants in Altamonte Springs closed. The Applebee's and Bennigans are closed and there's more on the way I've heard.

  • Are the Fazolis definitely closing?  I thought I heard on the news this morning they were trying to sell them as franchises?  But then I guess they will close if no one buys them.

    I can't believe how many stores have left the Oviedo Marketplace.  It's sad.  Sad

     

  • The ColdStone by us closed too.  I know the Oviedo Marketplace isn't the best mall but it was really convenient for me.  I think I am the most upset about Kirklands closing in there.  I love that store!

  • DH and I were just at Oviedo Marketplace and we counted 11 store empty storefronts just on one side of the movie theatre.  There is only 5 places left in the food court until Sabarro's opens.  It is no longer a place I go to shop, just for RJ Gators and the movies now.  Sad
  • Wow the RJ Gators is still open???  I thought they were closed too.  Ill have to tell Jerry and my Mom.  We used to go to RJ Gators all the time when we lived in Stuart.  That one is closed now too.

     they are still there!  I will be very sad if they ever close, I crave the garlic rolls they have there!  yummmm!

  • Oviedo Marketplace used to be my favorite mall just to go stroll around...but now it's almost pointless to go there. Half the spots are closed. And I had NO IDEA Donatos was gone...so sad!!
  • Wow - I hadn't heard about Fazoli's - that's surprising. When we moved back to Oviedo in Dec, I kept trying to call Donato's to order a pizza and the two in our area were gone. I know they opened a lot of them very quickly, but still hard to believe they are closing all of them now.

    And Oviedo Mall does make me sad. When the Gap left, it just got worse. And I fear that VS will be next. There are so many people living in that area, I don't know how these stores and restaurants are not making it.

    Scuba - I can't believe those Altamonte locations are closing! Those are not little chains, and Altamonte seems like the last suburb on that side of town that has any business/crowds anyway...crazy.
