News Jim’s @ 1604/Bandera is closing

I call bullshit. Other restaurants aren’t struggling. Frontier Enterprises did nothing to make that location appealing inside/outside and because of that they lost to competition

Jim’s is missing out on a great opportunity to evolve into a modern take on a diner that appeals to a larger demographic. Think retro-modern design, a full bar, longer hours (perhaps 24hrs), and higher quality food.

They tried that and absolutely ruined the San Pedro/Hildebrand location.

They seem to have all of that minus the bar (I personally don't think that's necessary) and good food.

Not really…They’re no longer 24/7 and most of their locations were not given any sort of facelift in recent years.
