Locations were added and menu options grew, but a change for the St. Paul restaurant earlier this year, when the menu expanded to add Chicago-style beef sandwiches and tavern-style pizzas, might have been the Hail Mary pass that didn’t catch on with the enthusiasm the company needed to move forward.
“With St. Paul, we were trying to interject some fun and find a path forward,” Boemer said. “The worst part is that our team right now is amazing across the board. That is the hardest thing. Across four restaurants, we were trying to steer the Titanic. That only happens by the hard work and grace by the people you’re surrounded by and they all gave it all.”
And now, in the midst of the slowest season in the industry, more than 100 restaurant workers are — without notice — without jobs.
Co-owner Rancone said the decision came after a hard look at the company’s finances. “Anything but a sudden closure would have put our staff and vendors at risk of not getting paid,” he said.
Boemer added his perspective saying, “It’s been a very difficult few years. We fought through COVID. There are a lot of people in our industry having a really hard time right now. January and February are hard on restaurants. Winter is a difficult time and this one was ferocious.”
As to the nature of the announcement, he conceded: “The abruptness is hard. It’s hard, but it’s part of the nature of how these things come and go. Sadly, restaurants are not a forever thing.”
In a shocking turn of events, Revival restaurants have announced the abrupt closure of all their Twin Cities locations. Known for their delicious Southern comfort food and popular fried chicken, fans of the restaurant chain are left devastated by the sudden news.
The closure comes as a surprise to many, as Revival had garnered a loyal following in the Twin Cities food scene. The reasons behind the closures have not been disclosed by the restaurant management, leaving customers and employees alike in the dark.
Many are left wondering what will happen to their favorite dishes and where they will go to satisfy their cravings for Revival’s signature fare. The sudden closure serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by restaurants in the ever-changing and competitive industry.
As Twin Cities foodies mourn the loss of Revival, they are left with memories of memorable meals and hopes that another restaurant will fill the void left by the beloved chain.
