So, fill me in on a fundraiser...

This might be an unpopular stand, but if you don't pay your bills ...

BTW, I love the food there and I loved Benson's. Happy Hawg is just OK.

Sent from a small screen using fat thumbs.

Didn't love the Hiram Rodney's. Never tried Benson's. But, you'll find us at Happy Hawg every Friday night. ) (Except during football season.)

I'm not a fan of Rodney's, but I hate to see them having financial troubles and wish them well. I've never tried Happy Hawg.

Being a local businessman myself, I always hate to see businesses fail; especially independents.

But also because I'm a local businessman; I sometimes know that there is more to these things than the public is aware of. I'll leave it at that.

There is one in Hiram, owned by another person.

The Hiram Rodney's closed years ago (at Nebo and 92) (thankfully!). I've never been to the New Hope one. The Happy Hawg that's in the old Rodney's location is no affiliation.

You are quite right. My bad. They kept the same phone number they had when it was Rodneys. When I call in an order my phone shows Rodneys. Going to change it now.

Rodney had a partner in the Hiram location. The partner bought him out and changed the name, and ultimately closed down.

Dude. We know. It was Rodney's, then Benson's and now Happy Hawg. :eatdrink

Nevermind - I saw it on the other site.

Well fill me in. Please don't make me go there. It's icky there.

The short story: They have to raise $20,000 to pay back interest on the mortgage. Apparently, they fell behind on payments and then their bank was seized by the FDIC and they listened to someone who told them to stop making payments (and apparently didn't save the money from those payments). So, they are having a dinner fundraiser.

huh.. so they want the community to pay for their bad business mistake?
what did they do with the money that was saved from paying the mortgage?

that's crazy! and SHAME ON THEM!

No one has said what happened to the money or how funds were managed. My thought is that if the customers weren't there to support them all along, one night of fundraising is like putting a band-aid on a gushing wound.

They apparently had enough money to run the TV commercial I saw last week. :dunno

nor do I need or want to be privy... it's just if you don't pay your mortgage for X amount of months and then still come up broke I as yes a common folk would want to know what you did with the extra money and why you're scrambling now to balance things out. Yes, if you are asking for the communities help then you need to lay everything out on the table.

I liked that place but to be honest since the move will never be back. I do know some people that work there and have heard "rumors". I do not know this to be fact so I will not repeat said rumors and add fuel to the fire

I'm not disagreeing with you.
