Skynyrd Restaurant Goes Bust
Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ & Beer has lasted less than a year
The Las Vegas restaurant was well regarded in the area but it seems that bad timing scuppered the enterprise.
In a statement the band said "Although Lynyrd Skynyrd was not the proprietor of the restaurant, the band licensed their name and likeness for the ‘BBQ and Beer style’ concept. Unfortunately, the project was launched during a downturn in the economy.” While pointing out that "the band was not involved in the day-to-day operations of the property,” the statement added, "the band and management are very disappointed the venture did not have a positive result.”
