Olde Main closing

New article about the questionable business practices of the owner of Olde Main. Sounds like a terrible guy. Long article but worth the read.

I thought I knew a lot about that situation, but it was even much, much worse than I thought!

I just read that whole article. Why is it that if I don't pay a seatbelt ticket, they suspend my license and put out an arrest warrant. However, a guy like this seems to get away with everything. Makes me mad. I hope everyone in Ames reads this story and nobody goes to his bars ever again. Hope any new possible employees realize what he has done to past employees and nobody will work for him or at least get paid up front.

He has had numerous warrants out. He was just hiding so he couldn't get arrested.

Because breweries are responsible for cleaning their own lines. Usually the distributors do it if you agree to a certain percentage of their taps. It probably comes at no surprise, those lines were never cleaned.

Not surprising, that would explain a lot.....
 
I'm surprised the food vendor let the unpaid food bill get that high. The food vendor for one of my restaurant clients throws a tantrum if a bill is missed and doesn't want to deliver until it's paid.

Seems to me the Ames PD isn't looking that hard. How he hasn't done real time is amazing.

I agree, but in the eyes of the law he hasn't done anything really serious. Mainly missing court dates and stuff like that. The real stuff will happen after the IRS is Done with him

My understanding is that no one is looking at all unless it’s a felony warrant, though I’m sure there are nuances. It is incredible that this went on as long as it did, and that he seems to think he can pull a fast one on the ABD and reopen DGs and Corner Pocket in November.

This is a "I heard it from a friend of a friend of a coworker's friend." kind of thing. So take it for what it's worth, but supposedly the Olde Main building has been sold. Another little detail is that the freezers were never emptied before the power was shut off so... You can imagine what it's like in there right now.

So who wants to start a micro brewery? Probably could get a pretty good deal on some equipment.
