I regret to inform you all that Sullivan&#8217;s Metropolitan Grill will be closing its doors on Saturday September 12th at 10:00 pm. We just can&#8217;t &#8220;hang on&#8221; any longer. Between the stock market &amp; real estate crash, the opening of the Private Club and multitude of new restaurants opening downtown, I have put every dime I have and can borrow into the business. I am in insurmountable debt.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, my father taught me to pay all my bills, etc. in full and on time. I have prided myself in that fact. I made a pact with myself to live my life with honesty &amp; integrity. I have to close now, so I will have enough money to pay my dear staff and my taxes.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all will come out and support us tonight, this weekend and all next week, to help make that possible.<\/p>\n<p>I could ramble on about woe is me, and I could have done this or should have done that&#8230;but it&#8217;s not going to change the reality of this.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that Sabra &amp; I and our business have made the community and downtown as a whole a better place to eat, shop and live.<\/p>\n<p>NO MATTER WHAT I am so grateful for my relationship with JESUS and feel SO BLESSED for what He has given us. God is more interested in our character than our happiness. Mathew 7:24-27 Building on a Solid Foundation &#8220;anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25&#8230;though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won&#8217;t collapse, because it is built on a bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching, and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against the house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sabra &amp; I have built our house on a SOLID FOUNDATION &#8211; our faith&#8230;with His grace, nothing is impossible. Sabra &amp; I and OUR energy is Sullivan&#8217;s Metropolitan Grill, not the 4 walls we have called home for so many years, and one day we will be BACK!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all SO SO much, for your support and patronage over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, always follow your dreams, and never give up on your goals. I know I won&#8217;t!<\/p>\n<p>Never give up,<br \/>\n<em>Bill Nickas<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"166\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.loyalcustomerclub.com\/clients\/09\/396\/68582\/header\/SullivansMetro600Hdr2_04.jpg?resize=166%2C195\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.loyalcustomerclub.com\/clients\/09\/396\/68582\/0809\/image\/logo.jpg?resize=166%2C250\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"250\" \/><\/div>\n<div><span><strong>Sullivan&#8217;s Metropolitan Grill<\/strong><br \/>\n864-226-8945<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.mail.loyalcustomerclub.com\/?ju=fe481d757d620d7c7d1d&amp;ls=fe3016707063047e771177&amp;m=fefb1776706402&amp;l=fef71d73746201&amp;s=fe5c17787d62007d7314&amp;jb=ffcf14&amp;t=\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>sullivansmetrogrill.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"530\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/click.mail.loyalcustomerclub.com\/?ju=fe501d757d620d7c7c14&amp;ls=fe3016707063047e771177&amp;m=fefb1776706402&amp;l=fef71d73746201&amp;s=fe5c17787d62007d7314&amp;jb=ffcf14&amp;t=\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Refer A Friend<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"440\"><strong>We love to hear from you!<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #666666;\">Please reply to this email with your comments and thoughts<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am very disappointed to here the sad news that one of our best restaurants is closing soon.
