A couple of weeks ago I wrote that Ruby Tuesday at 14th and Monroe has closed, and that there was a rumor that TGI Friday’s was no longer going to open on the opposite corner.
There’s a sign that it’s for rent and ANC chair Kent Boese said “it’s safe to say it’s on hold,” so I reached out to the company to confirm. After eventually they got back to me, first not answering the question, then when pressed saying “I apologize, but at this time, we do not have information regarding whether or not a location will be open in Columbia Heights.”
To me, that’s a no. Why would they say they have no information if the restaurant is opening? My first email to them included a link to an earlier post about the location and they responded only with “That is an old article dated from November 20, 2013. There are currently 2 TGI Fridays in the DC area. There is one at the airport and one on Pennsylvania Ave.”
Yeah, no kidding, TGI Fridays, I am able to use Google.
So, it’s not happening. And that’s ok with me. I hope something good goes into the Ruby Tuesday and TGI Fridays spaces. What would you like to see there?
