“The live band concept was a nice idea, but it only really generated two or three good hours of sales per night,” Dixon told this news outlet. “Also, we would like to become a nightclub that truly welcomes everyone over 21.”
The club’s food-service operation will evolve into The Bistro at Evolution, and plans call for it to open “within two weeks,” Dixon said.
