Have you ever noticed that some spots for business or new restaurants are doomed to go out after a certain amount of time? There's a certain building here that has had a new restaurant for what seems to be every six months for years now.
We have gotten used to seeing each new restaurant try it's best to get going but to no avail. Before long it's gone. Such a sad scene. We've gotten so we are now even afraid to try out any new ones as we already presume it will be bad.
You'd think when they find out how many went out of business before them they wouldn't open there. But perhaps the building owners give each business "an offer they can't refuse".
Anyhow there is hope for the latest business to open it's doors at that particular spot. And this time it's not a restaurant--They've learned their lesson---It's a Real Estate Office.

possibly potential customers associate the building too much with the failed business and don't give the new one a decent chance

@MarymargII it does happen. I have suggested bars to friends who reply that they dislike them from a previous visit even though it turns out that last time they went there was 20 years ago

@arthurchappell True and they'll always associate that experience with that location unfortunately. Guess the only thing that will change their mind is a good experience at the same location. haha!

Sometimes it is best to change the vibe in a building by changing businesses.

I think so too- people get not to trust repeated businesses if they fail every time.

It's like it has a curse on it when you get a spot like that. Maybe this time the business will succeed.

@MarymargII This is why Asian businessmen want an expert to check if the place has a positive "Feng Shui". hard to explain in two words, but this is the positive force that attract people.

@marymargll We have one of those. It’s been home to many restaurants but somehow they just never take. Now it’s been lying empty for a while. The restaurant next door however has been flourishing for years.

I'm sure many areas do. It's weird though- cause you just know they won't do well.

There is a building like that near me. A person tried to open a restaurant in this building quite a few times. the longest time one stayed open was almost a year.

It makes you wonder if there's something wrong with the vibe in the area? Is it doomed?
