The company is required to open 46 additional stores by the end of 2003, but it has renegotiated its agreement with the parent to allow it to concentrate only on the most economically favorable areas. In 1997, the company diversified with a Cajun-Creole concept. The Redfish Looziana Roadhouse restaurants are casual dining establishments that offer a broad selection of fresh seafood, Creole and Cajun food, and traditional southern dishes. Under the same roof is a VooDoo style lounge. The New Orleans atmosphere is enhanced by a collection of authentic artifacts, signs and antiques.
Live entertainment is presented on weekends.
There are currently 6 Redfish stores in operation. Whatever business a company is in, the most important factor is management. Main Street s chairman is John Antioco, formerly chief executive or chief operating officer at Pearle Vision, Circle K and Taco Bell. He successfully brought Circle K out of bankruptcy, took it public, and then negotiated a favorable sale of the chain. At Taco Bell he tur ned around a struggling, sprawling operation with 7,000 stores.
