Didn't answer their phones today and when I drove by there was a sign thanking customers for the support.

Interesting. Only went to that one a couple of times, but we were frequently at the one in St Matts until recently. The last two times the pizza was so bad I can't go back. It was a great place to watch sports, and March is just around the corner.

Anyone been to the one on Bardstown Road recently? This is kind of sad to hear, because MM has always struck me as a significantly above-average chain, mostly because they allow local franchise holders a lot of autonomy. I wonder if that changed, or ownership changed, or the local operators got tired? :(

I will say this location took FOREVER to get food out. Not sure if the others have the same issue

I was there 4 times...The decor was beyond stupid, there were always WAY too many screaming crust throwers and the service was universally HORRIBLE. I'm surprised they lasted this long. Good riddance.

Any idea who the franchisor is/was? Assume they own all local outlets.

I know that David and Dana Sims owned the Middletown operation, I believe they live in Simpsonville or somewhere out that way. They were really nice folks and put their whole heart into the business, I'm saying is that it didn't work out for them.
