What Michael Jordan’s Restaurant Looked Like 18 Years Ago

Michael Jordan has parlayed an incredible basketball career into a globally known brand, and that brand extends beyond basketball and sneakers. In 1993 Jordan was able to delve into another one of his passions once he opened up “Michael Jordans, The Restaurant” in Chicago.

The restaurant revolved around providing an American cuisine along with a sports feel thanks to all of the memorabilia that was sold on location. Sadly, the restaurant didn’t make it past MJ’s second retirement in 1999 (although he has numerous steakhouses now) but the popular food destination certainly left its mark.

According to many food critics, the restaurant could have survived if only the owner would have put his heart and soul into making it successful. The truth is that many restaurants in the current time also share the same fate that MJ’s restaurant has experienced. The reason for this is that not every aspiring entrepreneur knows how to be at the top of their game.

While they might have the finances as well as the knowledge of where to buy the kitchen equipment from, be it the best built in grills, ovens, or any other equipment for that matter, they probably lack the wit and imagination to develop something from the scratch and make it a success. They might not know how small changes can contribute to the victory of a business. For instance, a restaurant might also need good chefs who could deliver lip-smacking dishes so that customers keep returning.

Successful restaurants tend to take assistance from restaurant recruiting companies that can help them find good cooks for their kitchens. Similarly, an aspiring restauranteur might have the funds to lease a property to open his food business, but he might not have the idea to attract customers. What such people require is proper guidance from experts who could advise them wisely. They need to be told about the nitty-gritty of the food business. Be it a Fried Chicken Takeway joint or a Michelin star restaurant – all business owners know that the happiness of their customers is the key to their success!

Maybe, that is why they need the assistance of an expert who can help the entrepreneur understand the importance of good food as well as hygiene in the kitchen–he might persuade the business owner to see the positives of buying affordable commercial dishwashers. Additionally, the professional can teach him about the importance of décor to grab the attention of customers.

Perhaps, this was what was needed in the case of MJ. Only if he had gotten hold of an expert who could have guided him, he would have probably saved his food business to survive. Alas! He did not! However, the good part is that even if the business failed to survive, it left a mark on the population.
