The location in Southgate, Michigan opened in 2007. Photo taken by Google in July 2015.

We had one of those in Albany/Colonie (NY) at 111 Wolf Road for about a year and a half, before it closed in January of 2009.

The building reopened that November as a locally owned restaurant called (you'll never guess...) Wolf's 1-11 which it still is now.

The one here had a game room as well as the restaurant - not sure if that is standard for all of them or not? (note that the new owner kept those for a time, which isn't surprising since he had been a partner in the Jillian's in the city, with a similar idea of food and games).

We also to have one in Bensalem, PA (Trevose section).  It was located inside the Crown Plaza Hotel (then known as Holiday Inn Select)

This sounds like another one of those chains that continue to thrive in some areas yet have failed in others...

And at least the one I mentioned in Albany the owner (who had a company named Midon Corporation, which also had a number of Burger King restaurants at one point) had declared bankruptcy for that corporation which may have likely been a reason for the closing but not necessarily due to that particular restaurant's performance.
