The problem with American Grocery is that I felt like they never advertised or anything. No billboards, magazine ads, etc. To survive in the competitive downtown restaurant scene you need to do this to be successful.
I also don't understand why the owners put their finances into a new establishment instead of American Grocery to try and make it work.
Breakwater closing also. The good news is that the space has already sold. I guess the Breakwater owners got an offer they couldn't refuse.
Lots of new restaurants opening or coming downtown including one for the old 21 East space, Dixies Tavern space, Husk, Famous Toastery, Diner 24, Crepe du Jour, Tropical Grille, Blue Ridge, Basil, Terrace, etc. Don't let two closings make you think the foodie scene downtown is slipping.

There is probably potential for high profits selling expensive drinks at their new place. And don't forget they did 10 years of business in the West End. Lots of changes in that part of town over a decade. But maybe they got tired of doing the same thing day-in, day-out?
