Hope he opens at another location

They are not.

Landlord wanted to go up another $1100 per month on the lease. They couldn't come to an agreement. Business was good.

Brad is going to be fine.

Landlord is getting a hell of a lot more from the next tenant. I think all involved in the business were just tired at that point and wanted to move on. Business was OK but to be honest, you are not in the best area for a restaurant or QSR business.

Retail, office and especially residential rents have increased significantly, along with nearly everything else. Lafayette is an extremely competitive restaurant market with tons of turnover.

Outside of working with 1420 for 3 years, working with Brad was one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had. Got to talk Cajuns sports and sports in general with him daily and it was just an all around fun job. When I started nearly 4 years ago we had about 15 employees and we are finishing with 6, most of them being students. Once COVID hit, we could hardly get anyone to apply. I enjoyed being able to come to the games and sell the food but unfortunately we have one more weekend left at the park. I’ll definitely miss it but it’s on to the next opportunity. Not sure what that will be just yet but I’m looking forward to it.
