Joyland closes Nashville burger joints

Friction point: Joyland fell victim to a financial crisis surrounding Pihakis Restaurant Group, which was one of the burger joint's investors.

• The firm is facing a cavalcade of lawsuits and claims of financial mismanagement.
• Workers cleaned out the Nashville location on Sunday, according to the Tennessean.

Flashback: Joyland opened in East Nashville in 2020 and added a second location on Charlotte Avenue in Sylvan Park.

Nate and Adam's thought bubble: We especially loved Joyland's crustburger, which featured a condensed, crispy bun.

• A greasy burger after fancy cocktails at nearby Atta Boy was an undefeated combination.
• Since the issue seems to be the outside investor, here's hoping Joyland finds a way to reopen in the future.
