(Alternative hed: Tiki Man is Dead. Again.)
The other day we reported Trader Vic’s was selling off their swag. I posted a link to the website handling the sale but the site went dark about an hour later. Guess some of the higher ups at Palomar weren’t too happy to think employees were leaking information to the media. I assured them that my source was not an employee. We pay rent for someone to live in the residences just to keep an eye on what goes on over there. Then I told them the truth–a D employee lives there and pays her own way.
Anywhoo, Greenlight Advertising, is here to make a statement, clear the air, and make Candy Evans cry. Go, Greenlight.
I wanted to share the following info with you both regarding the Trader Vic’s space in Dallas. We will post this to the Trader Vic’s Dallas Facebook fan page shortly.
“We apologize for the lengthy silence. As you may know, earlier this year a pipe burst in our restaurant. We tried tirelessly to find a way to keep the doors open, but the cost of remodeling was just too high. We will not be reopening Trader Vic’s Dallas, however, we are very excited about a new concept restaurant that will be taking over the space. For now, that is all we can share. As we work through this process, we will use this fan page to keep you as informed as possible. Thank you for all the great memories at Trader Vic’s Dallas!”
Greenlight Advertising is working with those involved to facilitate the transition of the space from Trader Vic’s to the new concept. If either of you have questions, feel free to ask me and I will do my best to get you what you need.
See, Candy. It isn’t all bad. You can have a virtual scorpion whenever you need a fix. Miss you, Tiki Man. I will always love you.
