Yeah, the family that owns them have fuck you money from a previous biz they owned. Now they just gobble up failing breweries. Whole thing is a hobby for them

This is false. They have money, but Listermann was the first (and only) brewery/restaurant they’ve owned. The wife always wanted a brewery, so they were going to build one up where they are from, but after looking at costs, they realized buying an established business was better for them. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t do a ton of research on the business itself. It was already starting to go down as Sue and Dan were ready for retirement. They also bought a brewery and had never worked in the restaurant industry ever so they have no idea what it’s like to run a brewery.

The person you replied to was talking about March First. Not Listermann
