bites the dust!    • j   • 3  Although nothing special
discovered tonight that the bright neon lights of Jani in the
Wal-Mart plaza are dark. Sign on the door indicates they are
closed. No one picks up the phone. Huge space to be empty.
Anyone aware of the future of the space?    1. Click to Upload a

say I'm intrigued by this.      I always thought that the
proprietors of Jani either had an ownership stake in the
property, or maybe they were locked into a long lease with a
favorable rate. Having such a huge place that always seemed to
be mostly empty just didn't add up for me.      Had lunch there
a few times when I worked in Norwalk and was never really
impressed with the food. I wonder what's going in there next.
1. I've heard that the former Jani will become a Panera. That's
a lot of square feet for that concept which is basically a
breakfast food spot.        1 Reply       1. re
