Case Study: Why All Restaurants Close Down Here?

What is your view of a building (currently a restaurant called Blue Flames) located in New Garden Town, Lahore. I know, I know...again Garden Town, right? But what can I do? My route to my university and office passes from Garden Town. So anyway, what about that building, huh?
When I came here to Pakistan, it was a day care for children called something like Dawn DayCare. It was a pretty building then, with blue painting and a circular window in the middle. Then one day, while coming back from my campus, I saw the building being renovated. We later found out the owner of Mr. Cod had taken over this place. They changed the whole look of the building by giving it a cool boat-looking shape.
However, Mr. Cod lasted only one year or even less. It was then bought by Kims Restaurant. That too, didnt stay for long. Finally, a few days ago I saw the letters of Kims being replaced with the letters Blue Flames.
Now, we have to see how long does Blue Flames stay there.
