This pretty much answers (if true,likely in my opinion) what is to become of the kahiki in storage. Just let me know when another barrel is up.

I'd say that what you suggest here has been my supposition all along. I'm certain that the contents of the place will be Ebayed and or sold off at standard auctions, slowly over time.

In spite of what everyone wants to hear, many of us who live in Columbus do not believe the long whispered rumors of a new Kahiki location. I think this is all a bunch of spin to maybe help sell frozen egg rolls.

Why would anyone hold all of that stuff in storage for this long while at the same time answering queries as to it's fate with vague comments such as "well, if we ever find the right location..." or "we have no plans to open a new restaurant right now, but we have it all in storage of course..."

(I am paraphrasing the above from old newspaper articles)

I'm sorry, but that all just sounds like a bunch garbage to keep fans of the Kahiki as possible buyers for the food brand name. I know it's a business, and I understand that it is about money, not my personal love of the polynesian restaurant. With that in mind, I can't be upset about the direction the Kahiki owners chose to take with their property.

I just wish they'd be honest about it all with regard to the restaurant.

There is no reason why Tsao couldn't just come out and say what is obvious to me: "We will not be reopening the Kahiki. Period"

Then you can wholesale all of the stuff on Ebay for $$$ to Danlovestikis and just get it over with.

Heh heh heh!
