Chili's Grill & Bar restaurants on Eastside close

Chili's Grill & Bar restaurants in Issaquah and Bellevue have been closed by Quality Restaurants Northwest, a franchise partner of Brinker International.

I read that Binker stepped in to offer asistance to former employees beause Qaulity Restaurants closing process was not adequate.
I also read that Binker purchased a couple of Chilis elsewhere from Quality.
Why doesn't Binker purchase at lease one of the two Chili's that closed on the eastside (Issaquah, Bellevue)?

We saw a sign months ago in the window of the Issaquah Chili's, stating that they were closed for "re-imaging". Assuming that was a new way to say remodelling, we have been watching to see what happens. Now, after checking the Chili's site and the Seattle Times, I see it's closed for good. What happened? It was always busy, and we used to go and wait, anyway. We have relatives that would drive 1-1/2 hours to come over and eat there. I am very disappointed!!!!

[so sad]

The owner was caught by the IRS for owing over 2 million in back taxes because of is former restaraunts in Florida that also closed suddenly. The owner made an escape attempt for Canada but was caught at the border.

Besides the Queso dip, Chillis always made me feel sick after visiting it. Im fine with it being closed and am happy to welcome new business to Issaquah! Sorry folks, the sodium content of many of there dishes were enough to exceed two days worth and is certainly not good for a country with a high obesity rate. Glad to see it go even though some of my friends used to work there and like it.

Chillis is one of my favorites!
