Red Barn No More

[reelapeelin]

Well guys, it never got off the ground and we ran outta $$ to support it...

Note to self...don't ever open a business unless you got 1 YEAR'S financial cushion to carry it until profitability...it was gaining momentum...just too little, too late...

Oh well...what's the next scam??...

[RWilson2526]

Damn Reel sorry to hear that....seems like you gave it one hell of a try though. Tough business..... Hey its only money, now lets get you back in a V soon.

[garagenc]

Sorry to hear that, you put a lot of time and effort in that place, it's a shame. We were all looking fwd to you bringing the food to Spare get together.

The brotherhood here could have helped you out!! We could have bought food ahead of time and when we visited for every BBQ sandwich we bought you would owe us 2 sandwiches. :happy:
I am sorry to hear, I'm sure the community liked the food and atmosphere, they will hate to hear this.

[tsubaki]

Dang reel, like everyone else I hate to hear that.
Almost seems unAmerican for a BBQ joint to go out of business.





Ever hear of a liquor store going out of business?

[willy]

Tried to give you a call brother, but your phone won't take any messages.

[spareparts]

so, do I need to find you another V?

[phatdaddy]

sorry to hear that reel. there is a reason only 2 out of 10 succeed, and the crazy part is, its usually not the food. there have been many fresh local seafood places here with fantastic food and they last 4-6 months, but red lobster has flash frozen talapia and fresh water shrimp and people stand in line.. i have always wanted to have a resturant, but heard from friends, there is no harder way to make a buck. i sure you gave it a good try. now you can loose money on boats like the rest of us. i hope you at least got the ice machine out of the deal.

<sigh> What can I say.... I am so very sorry for your loss. Having had a few business ventures of my own fail I know the feeling only too well. I wish there was something I could have done to help. It looked like a great place. R.I.P. Red Barn :sad:

[randlemanboater]

Dang Reel....sorry to hear that.

[Skools Out]

hate to hear that you could have added stripper poles. heck just added to the name The Red Barn where the Girls wear Little Yarn.

[chumbucket]

Man that sucks Reel. I'm sure it wasn't for lack of passion and real effort to make a go at it. Unfortunately I think it's just a sign of the economic times we're in.
I applaud you for at least giving it a go though. There are times I regret not having tried something like that. You've got the moral support of your family here OZ. Hang tough.

[charlie_the_tuna]

sorry to hear, reel. i was looking forward to checking the place out at some point. that just blows. chin up.

[reelapeelin]

Thanks Guys...all the comments and well wishes appreciated!!...Heck, it was justa matter of time before it went under anyway...sooner or later MJ woulda showed up wearing a V-20 T-Shirt and wiped me out!!...LOL!!...

[RidgeRunner]

Holy crap. That isn't what I was expecting. I can't begin to say just how much we were pulling for you. I know you must be distrought. Hang in there OZ. Something better is right around the corner.

[Blue_Runner]

What can I say? This is not at all what I was expecting to see this morning when I logged in. I really hate to hear it Oz. Looks like you guys were doing everything right, nice place, great food, intelligent ownership etc. Restaurants are a tough biz. I know you'll pull through and figure out something else. Sorry 'bout the RED BARN DAWG!!!

[Pipe_Dream]

Sorry to read that, Reel. Small consolation if any, but in these tough times you are not alone. Keep your chin up and your eyes on the horizon.

Reel I thought that's what happened; MJ showed up. :sun:

[Franco]

Dam Oz,
I'm sorry to hear that. I had a great time when I visited you guys. I guess that means my T Shirts are gonna be a collectors item now!
Hang in there buddy

[Parrot6909]

Ozzie - That's terrible news! I am so sorry. I was looking forward to making the trip down there with Nat to visit you. I am sure something else will turn up soon for you though!

[Stinky_Hooker]

Damn bro...so sorry..tough break!
