I'm not surprised they had to gut Brooklyn Bagel, but it doesn't look like they did anything all summer. It's possible that whoever bought this particular franchise location didn't have the adequate funds to go ahead with the construction.

Zen Burger closed mid-Dec, and they're on track for a May opening. It should not take 9 months to transform a Brooklyn Burger to a Kyochon. @win: Not buying it.

Last time I went to one in Seoul, it was packed, so I doubt it's a funding issue. Probably just poor project / construction management. There’s pretty substantial number of Kyochon’s in Korea.
