Haven't been to casino since March (in LV). Usually, when you ignore for a few months, they start drop off...these just seem to be increasing...like begging me to go there!

since Fresh and Easy opened by my house, I really do not go out to eat anymore. I wonder if they are going well? I hear they are not in California.

Fresh and Easy backed off from their very aggressive growth plan. They were going to take over every single Rite Aid store but stopped way short of that goal due to the deep recession. Yes they are in Cali too. They all seem to be doing quite well. Things will improve when more people break their old habbits and give them a try.

Just went to Fresh and Easy first time today. Had to say Kinda liked it. Now that I don't have a ton of people to cook for, I think I will be going there more often.

Yeah, I live 2 minutes from there. Drive by it every day to work and have been watching both locations slowly turn into empty parking lots. I don't see it coming back anytime soon. If people want food, they'll go up to Lake Mead/Buffalo.

You are likely stuck until the place resolves...and then you may be faced with closing or losing your deposit. It of course depends on what the contract says but they are generally written pretty one sided.

If it gets bad enough some local lawyer may try and pull together a class action and extricate you from the place. But note that it is hard to get legal bills paid in such litigations and they may well exceed your deposit.

So bear with it and see how it comes out.

The way the high rises are going at the moment it may pay you to walk away and then buy one. The value six months after opening may well be half what the get in rate was. I expect that we are going to see many of these places selling well below replacement costs.
