13 Coins change(s) hands
The owners of the two 13 Coins restaurants in Seattle have sold them to an investment group. [Times] Their first order of business? Remodeling the South Lake Union location to freshen up its look. Both locations will remain open.
13 Coins was a landmark in Seattle culinary history, bringing a 24/7 gourmet restuarant into a town where your only decent late night meal option was Dick’s. It’s hard to believe that a mere twenty years ago Seattle was not a restaurant town, especially when you consider the variety of quality nosh you can get just in Belltown.
obviously no one has mentioned that all 120+ union employees were terminated as of march 31st will be there last day. kemper freeman and stan templeton ( kemper freeman is owner of beleview square, and new part owner of 13 coins) has insultingly,asked the workers, some of them have been there for 30 years and more to re apply and go through training. no information has been told to employees, such as medical, are they going to stay union ect…a change in the air, obviously.. mabe a young hooters girl will be waiting on us in the future at our old favorite 13 coins to go along with the new remodel job…we will see
