RASCAL Restaurant Lyon

Rascal Flatts-Themed Restaurants in Chicago & cross U.S. Fall Through | Eater Chicago

"I learned the Rascal Flatts-themed restaurant and music venue planned for 800 W. Fulton Market won’t be coming — Thor Equities said no tenants had signed — and the band later ended its licensing deal, killing projects that were also planned for Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Des Moines (and a planned bar in Phoenix). The chain’s first and only restaurant opened in Stamford, Connecticut in 2017 and closed in August, and an Arizona Republic investigation claims investor Frank Capri — allegedly with mob connections and once in the Federal Witness Protection Program — supervised plans nationwide and that money meant for construction went missing, with developers later alleging fraud, theft and other misconduct." - Ashok Selvam
