Islands Shutters Nor Cal Restaurant

by The Editors on March 7, 2008

IslandsIslands Restaurants, the Carlsbad-based operator of “59 company-owned restaurants” has announced that they are “calling it quits in Elk Grove, California.”

Cynthia Darlington, marketing director for the Carlsbad-based chain of 59 company-owned restaurants, said the Elk Grove site was “not performing up to our expectations.” . . . Islands was prepared to stick it out, she said, but another restaurant group offered to pick up Islands’ lease and buy its equipment. She could not identify the chain, but said it probably was “better suited for Elk Grove” than Islands proved to be.

We had to laugh at one of the comments: “What, an all you can eat trough?” Don’t worry. We still love your fries.
