Their ideal spots: towns with large college populations, foot traffic, and mixed-use residential. They're hoping the opening of their Bombers will spur further development along that King Street strip -- sections of which have been vacant for years, and frankly, the whole stretch has looked rather sad.
The Dzembos say they've heard rumors of plans for a new sports bar, or maybe a coffee shop, or a laundromat. Only one negative, the trim colors on the building look dated and doesn't compliment their signage at all. I work in Green Island and come over the bridge into Troy for lunch a couple times per week I'm very excited for this new spot! Congrats to the new owners! Wishing them luck!

I think some people are able to handle that stress and some people aren't. Damon Dzembo made comments to that end to the Times Union two weeks ago, when details of the takeover emerged. The couple have two daughters, whose teen and preteen years they feel they're missing while running a business that is open a minimum of 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
Still, the immediate closure was unexpected. There did not appear to be any notice that it was coming other than a sign posted to the door Sunday that read: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closed until further notice.
