Gary has said many things to the employees and community since the restaurant opened and he often contradicted himself. Additionally. a lot of money was unnecessarily spent on overtraining and overstaffing the restaurant from the beginning. Gary and Linda left town several months ago. This closing is no surprise to anyone who was behind the scenes. The franchise was supposedly going to be bought back by the Ciao Mambo Corporation. Unfortunately, the community and Bank of the Cascades will now have to live with a huge amount of unpaid debt which are not only the result of the economy; rather, these are ramifications of the Sathers' lack of knowledge, experience and untruthfulness.
