The Place 2 Be: Restaurant Chain Shuts Down After Tax Permit Revocation
About this episode
The Place 2 Be restaurant chain, known for its trendy all-day brunches, has closed its last three locations due to the state revoking their sales and use tax permits. Owner Gina Luari, who had planned to revive the millennial-focused brand, now faces challenges including unpaid rent and a court-ordered exit from one location. The future of the chain remains uncertain as Luari struggles with tax issues, floods, and vandalism at other spots.

The Mansfield Marketplace swings open this Sunday, March 29th, bringing back its popular flea market vibe with special Easter activities for families. Kicking things off, the Easter Bunny shows up at 9.30am, followed by an egg hunt at 10am sharp on the playground for kids 12 years. Old and younger, eggs come packed with candy, and there's a dedicated spot for the tiniest hunters 4 years old and under. Stick around after for free photos with the bunny, and entry costs nothing beyond a $3 parking fee per car. This spot draws crowds for its relaxed family atmosphere, running every Sunday from 8am to 2pm all the way through Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the Mansfield Drive-In Theater fires up right after, with a preview night on Thursday, April 2nd, for I-98 fans. It then opens Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting April 3rd, featuring double bills of the newest hits in timeless classics across 3 big. Screens, come summer, it's every night.
Mark your calendars for these local gyms, and get ready for some springtime smiles. That wraps hard for news today, brought to you with AI.
