BullChicks on Highland Avenue will reopen this month after being closed in late May.
Riaz Samji, the founder of the Texas-based chain, closed the Augusta restaurant because the franchisee was not operating up to his standards, said Ali Kassam, a representative for True Story Entertainment, the advertising agency that represents BullChicks.
“The franchisee was not keeping the restaurant up to the BullChicks standards, as far as the quality of the food, the equipment and the upkeep inside the store,†Kassam said. “The franchisor is taking that store back, so they’re in the process of renovating it, retraining the staff.â€
The restaurant is tentatively scheduled to reopen Monday under management from Texas until a new local franchisee is found, he said.
