Restaurant Marrakesh and Paradisio 37 Chapter 11

[redzinner]

Orlando-based E-Brands Restaurants, which owns Timpano and Samba Room on Restaurant Row and the newer Paradiso 37 at DownTown Disney, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company is controlled by Rashid Choufani, who opened Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion at Disney's Epcot theme park. E-Brands also operates Aquaknox restaurants in Tampa and Las Vegas. Chapter 11 allows for reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States. The Sand Lake restaurants are expected to remain open during the reorganization.

1) The low sales at Paradiso was not unexpected.
2) It is a confusingly themely eatery.
3) Besides, it is in the "old" Pleasure island area.
4) Nobody goes there.
5) At least not enough to support an eatery.
