Heaven on Earth
The restaurant business is extremely competitive in Atlanta. Everytime I go down there to visit my parents another 10 high end restaurants have opened. Even the surrounding suburbs are FLOODED with independently owned dining options..

Sorry for TIP but he's just another fish in the ocean on this one..

Sadly, I saw this coming before the Restaurant even opened...
Too often Rappers just finance projects for "their homies" who have ZERO experience in running a legitimate Business
More often then NOT, this is the end result.
:snoop:
Although TI isn't exactly hurting for CASH, this is still going to be a HIT in his pockets... Starting a restaurant from scratch IS NOT cheap

Well the building and location was already in place as it used to be Frank Ski's joint before, but :scust:at the type of nonsense that was going on at Scales.

Damn what his son do?
Embezzled the gang of ends from the restaurant:

Gladys Knight’s Son Allegedly Stole $650,000
The son of the R&B legend is wanted on charges of theft and tax evasion in connection with the popular Atlanta restaurants he runs in his mother’s name.

Chart-topping R&B legend Gladys Knight is famous for her chicken and waffles. But it appears the owner of the Atlanta restaurant chain that bears her name was cooking up more than country yard birds.

Georgia authorities reportedly smelled something fishy going on at the popular eatery and suspected the proprietor, Shanga Hankerson, was cooking the books. Authorities padlocked three locations in and around Atlanta on Tuesday, and issued seven warrants for his arrest. Hankerson is wanted on a myriad of charges—including theft, theft by conversion and tax evasion.


The state’s tax office contends Hankerson, the son of Gladys Knight and music hit maker Barry Hankerson, owes more than $1 million in back taxes and penalties. The problem allegedly started after Hankerson failed to remit sales taxes and employee payroll withholdings, totaling an estimated $650,000.

Knight, who lent her name and likeness to the business, is said to have no other connection and is not under investigation. Her son, however, faces numerous criminal and civil charges in connection with the case.[/i]
