I never said it was profitable
They're still being subsidized. City staff came up with a rent structure for the parklets that covered the city's costs, city council then arbitrarily knocked that rate down significantly.
Teddys is my go to place when a want a stiff drink and probably the best fish tacos in the area. Not to mention all the good looking girls that work there.

If shalhoobs was profitable at the public market they would not be closing down even if they are opening up another store across town. Once a restaurant becomes profitable it’s a terrible business decision to close down unless your lease is not renewed or you get kicked out by the owner of the business. It’s to difficult to make a restaurant work, so closing just because your opening up another restaurant makes zero sense!
We are not buying it sorry!
You can explain it however you want. It's still a cartel doing cartel things.
Yeah I don't get it either, especially in that small space. I go to the Nugget in Summerland for the ambiance and nostalgia, but not necessarily for the food....
And not sure where other locals hang out, but there's not really a replacement for the Palms yet, and this certainly won't be it.
I'd like to comment on the reference to the New York Times article above. The National Association of REALTORS does not set commissions and never has. They have always been negotiable and they are set between the homeowner and the listing broker. I invite your readers to learn more about the settlement agreement and the policies that NAR does have by visiting https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/correcting-the-record-nar-does-not-set-commissions
There is no line at Corazon during off hours. None at all. That would be financial suicide.
And to put things into more perspective, Empty Bowl is literally the ONLY business still standing after day 1 of the Public Market opening. That says something about the $/sq foot of that location. Bottom line - if Hoobs was profitable, they would not be moving.
I am thrilled that parklets will finally be paying for all the services they receive from our City and County. We taxpayers have been subsidizing the additional clean-up required by parklets for way too long. The raised public parking rates (a detriment to all of us to do our best to support our local retailers and restaurants) have also been subsidizing the costs of parklets...not to mention all of the restaurant owners who did not get free rental space and paid their fare share of taxes over the last nearly four years....
My understanding is that Shalhoob's wanted to focus on opening the Magnolia Center location. And both sides said it was completely amicable.
I’m guessing with their new place about to open , they didn’t want spread their staff too thin . Also the might have decided they could move some fixtures and equipment to Goleta and save some money.
Shalhoob seemed to be doing great business. That leads me to believe that they either didn’t pay their rent or had a disagreement with owners of the public market.
Does anyone know any more details? Very curious
Have you ever owed a restaurant or managed one..?? How can you tell restaurants what they should be putting on the menu????? I am vegetarian myself and I’m not expecting restaurants to cater to my every need.
Please be more considerate when writing comments and remember the world doesn’t revolve around you like your parents might have told you.
Foodie out!!
Love your conspiracy theory. Hunter's laptop rules. Go Brandon!!!
Piroshky is the same as pierogi. Just cuter name by public. Please don't change!
Here it is, B&P Code 25607 - apart from certain exceptions "it is unlawful for any person or licensee to have upon any premises for which a license has been issued any alcoholic beverages other than the alcoholic beverage that the licensee is authorized to sell at the premises under their license. It shall be presumed that all alcoholic beverages found or located upon premises for which licenses have been issued belong to the person or persons to whom the licenses were issued. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. The department may seize any alcoholic beverages found in violation of this section."
If a stupid rule exists about alcohol consumption, you can be certain it's because of some ABC/State licensing requirement rather than a business or owner's wishes. It is the same at Third Window Brewing which shared an outdoor space with a winery, same with Topa Topa Brewing where you can't buy a beer at Lama Dog and walk next door, and have to talk to people in the wine tasting over a physical divider.
I'm probably a lonely person who is glad that shalhoobs is departing... Now, hopefully, we can resume purchasing alcohol from whichever restaurant we like & drink wherever we choose. Standing or sitting near service area of Wabi Sabi isn't pleasant, for example. And how was that rule implemented anyway? Seems a bit of infringement on other restaurants abilities to sell liquor! It is after all, The Public Market!! Not Shalhoobs' extension #1, 2 & 3!!
The Parklet fees are totally bogus & a total shakedown by the city! City council beware... Don't bite the hands that feed you!! What will be left in our fair city of restaurants start closing their doors?? Extremely disappointed in the direction that city council & big flop of mayor randy rouse chose to go down!! Shameful!
With The Palms closed it seems like a good move, where do Carp locals hang out these days?
The Barbary Coast or Cove was quite a Rockin' bar in the 1970's. Not much info on it now,they had a Great Rock band called Gold Street. It was near Hollister and Aero Camino and always packed.
Can anyone please tell me why the nugget would open another restaurant in carpinteria after not being able to keep the nugget open..? I just don’t get it. Maybe they are trying to prove something?? Who knows!
Anyone else curious?
Carp foodie out!
Ex-Seattleite saying Yippee for Piroshky Piroshky! Devine!
I wish they were Pierogi and not Piroshky. Pierogi popup would do very well!!!!
Do u think they put items on the menu that sell?
