I sampled the Big Rolland Sandwich with fried chicken tenders. It was delicious. 

And, less than 5 months later, it is for sale:   https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/off/5500628233.html

They'd like $100k in key money, and someone to take over the lease.

You get to decide whether to give the food service worker a heads up on whether it is for sale.

...sometimes I have been the first to inform such folks of potential changes.
