I live down the street from one of the locations that closed, and another one was maybe an hour away. Both locations always seemed busy. And they made excellent food. I'm really surprised to hear they closed down. According to the sign on my local store, they're no longer in Northern California, and it says to visit them in Southern California or Nevada. Yeah, either 4 to 5 hours away. It’s strange. I live down the street from one of the locations that closed, and another one was maybe an hour away. Both locations always seemed busy.

It could be that the demand for this type of product wasn't what consumers were craving, but I felt the concept was sound and the product satisfactory. With so many choices of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or Thai food, this fusion was quite interesting and it had corporate muscle to help with marketing and leverage funds that a lot of small business owners do not have the luxury of having. So having restaurants like Mongolian BBQ, Viet Hoa, Panda South or Bamboo Inn in our area that have managed to stay in business either makes them lucky or give them credit for having a good product. But with Pick Up Stix, it may be that there corporate office felt that cutting off a foot could save the rest of the leg-so to speak. This one is a hard call.
