Title: Rainforest Cafe shuts down Connecticut location
Post by: ynkeesfn82 on February 11, 2013, 08:44:48 PM
Rainforest Cafe has shut down its only Connecticut location at The Westfarms Mall. They decided not to renew their lease and their spot will become the new location of Forever 21.

I was wondering where forever 21 was going to go when reading they be moving. Their food isn't great and the fan fare has died long time ago.

I am not surprised.  Subpar food for not the greatest prices.  I guess it was more about the experience than the food.

I just don't understand why Forever 21 is taking over that spot. Won't it cost a lot of money to convert the spot from a restaurant to a store?
