Wow, what happened to Bar K? Haven’t been there forever but would stop by when we went through town and had the dogs with us.
How do you open a what seems to be a very successful business and just never pay rent.
As someone who’s worked there and has several friends who had as well, not surprising.
It seems like they never had enough employees either. Just a poorly run business I guess.
We love Bar K. But pay your rent.
