Did Zamorah’s in Simpsonville close? I couldn’t read the note on the door as I drove by, but the ‘hours’ board is down along with the rest of their usual signage, and half the name and phone number have been scraped off the window.

I think you pretty much just answered your own question. Lol.

Good food. Great people that ran Zamorah’s With what’s happening on the other corner in the Burdette building it may have become too expensive. They never appeared to do a high volume. It won’t be vacant long. I’m hoping the empty bank building next door to Zamorah’s will continue as a commercial enterprise. The First Baptist folks have taken enough property off the tax rolls.
I didn’t know if they’re remodeling or something.
Could be. There is a unit that at one time was residential above it. It’s appeared to be vacant for a while. I never got around to asking Wade the owner about his plans for that space. I like his “speakeasy’ type place in the cellar on Curtis street. I imagine he’s been busy. I think the art foundation was the beneficiary of a windfall from the mega millions winner. I could be wrong.
I wonder too about that Golden Chick in Easley. It usually sits empty and I wonder how long it will survive?
That Kolache place in Powdersville to me is a little strange. I have been there twice. The service is hit or miss. One day a friendly female associate and the next time, a guy that looks like he is spaced out on something....The Kolache's pastry.....meh...I can live without them.
Yeah the issue I have with Kolache is they are never open when Im driving by them. It would be something I would probably do as an afternoon snack and they close at like 2pm or something like that. Your also right about that guy, did what it is but he seems off.

I'm afraid that there are franchisers out there who take the money and leave the owner twisting in the wind.I hope that's not the case here.
What about the kolache place in powdersville.That just seems a little weird for our market.
Yeah to me they have picked terrible locations for all their stores, the one in Easley you cant see from the road and the one they closed on Pleasentburg by GVL TECH was just a horrible place for them....The need to be in a place like mall or something and get established and make place for themselves. My wife didnt like it the first time we went but then we went again and she loved it. I just hope they don't disappear forever.

I think we all said that Pleasantburg location was horrible from the start. Not only the fact of where it was, but how close to the existing location it was.
The other end of Pelham, Cherrydale, even Woodruff Rd would have been better.. and saying anything would have been better on Woodruff Rd is like praising the anti-Christ.
I haven't found any franchise info on Golden Chick, but.. I will say that I've watched their store counts.. And it seems to hold pretty consistently in the 170 to 200 store range. They've opened 12 in the past year, which has been a slow year for them, and I guarantee 12 have closed in the past year.
They've had locations in Manning and Columbia close as well, and of course the Greenwood location we've discussed before.
Not only here, but locations in Texas have been closing.
This feels a little like another chain that I've had some dealings with.. Boneheads Grill. They came up with the concept and told franchisee's how they'd help them and all kinds of things.. And I know of about 14 of them that opened, several in Atlanta of which the Perimeter made the longest go at it.. There's 1 left down in Pensacola. They opened in weird places. Bentonville, AR.. Somewhere in Mississippi.. Oxford, I believe it was. They brought people with no restaurant experience in as franchisees.. Always a bad idea.
Don't know that Golden Chick is doing the same, but.. There's enough smoke to wonder if there's some fire there.
A long time ago there was a fantastic Thai place next to the movie theater in Easley. Then they dumbed it down for the local yokels and it went out of business. That was a shame.
