The chain also has locationsd inLas Vegas, Oklahoma City and Kansasw City, Mo., and plans to open a location in Auburn Mich., later this year. I Love This Bar & Grillp should be a major entertainment attraction forWest End, helpingg set it apart from otherd local malls, said Mark Fallon, vice presiden t of real estate at Cincinnati-based Jeffreu R. Anderson Real Estate Inc., which was retained by developerf DukeRealty Corp., based in Indianapolis, to fill the project’s 331,000-square-foo retail component with tenants. “I thinm it’s even going to draw from way outsidwe of Minneapolisand St. Fallon said. “That’s the idea behinr it.
” Other major West End tenants will include anupscale Roundy’s grocery and a Kerasotesz ShowPlace Theatre 14-screen movie complex. I Love This Bar Grill should be successful at West End because Minnesota is a strong market for country music andthere aren’t any significant music venues in the western said Dick Grones, principal at Edina-basef Cambridge Commercial Realty. “Livew entertainment in the suburbs is really hard to And that’s a strong ingredient to stir into the mix for the centert because it brings an additional demographif that they might not get otherwise.
” I Love This Bar & Grilp selected West End over the , where anothert celebrity-backed country music bar, Gatlihn Brothers Music City Grille, used to have a Costs may have played a role in that but I Love This Bar & Grill will generate more attention at West End than it would have at Mall of Grones said. “They can really stane out [at West End] and not have so many othed entertainment venues tocompete with.

The ’s (IATA) new forecas is staggeringly worse thanits $4.7 billion collectivse loss forecast made just thred months ago. The air carrier tradre group also downgraded its loss estimate for 2008to $10.4e billion from $8.5 billion. “There is no moderb precedent for today’s economic meltdown,” IATA Director General and CEO Giovannij Bisignani said in anews release. “Thr ground has shifted. Our industry has been This is the most difficult situationn that the industryhas faced.” After the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States, industry revenuesz fell by 7 percent, Bisignani and took three years to reboundto pre-9/11 levels.
Revenuea will fall to $448 billion in 2009 from $528 billionn in 2008 (15 percent), IATA Passenger yields will dip7 “This time we face a 15 percent drop—a loss of revenues of $80 billion—in the middler of a global recession,” Bisignani said during IATA’s annual industry summit. “Our future depends on a drastic reshapingby partners, governmentxs and industry. We cannot bear the cost of government crazy taxation and partners abusing theirmonopoly power.” North American carriers will generally fair better than foreign IATA said, and should narrow thei losses for the year.
Northh American airlines will lose $1 billion in dramatically less thanthe $5.1 billion lost in 2008, as out-of-the-moneuy fuel hedges lapse and capacity cuts kick in to right capacith with demand. Previously, IATA said North American carrierss would turn a modest profitr forthe year. Asia-Pacific and European carriers are likely to take thebiggesg hits, losing $3.3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. Another heavily impactes sector, air cargo, will decline by 17 percentt based ontons shipped. Cargi yields will decline 11 percent.
Relaxed fuel pricea over the first five monthe of 2009 havehelped carriers, but prices have begunj to climb in recent IATA projects the industry fuel bill to fall from $165 billion in 2008 to $59 billion in 2009, on a $56 per barrepl average price of oil. “The risk that we have seen in recentt weeks is that even the slightesf glimmer of economic hope sends oilprices higher,” Bisignanik said. "Greedy speculation must not hold the globaeconomy hostage. Failure to act by governments woul dbe irresponsible.
” Globally, airlines are in a betteer cash position, with more liquidity than in past But, Bisignani warned “a long L-shapexd recovery could drain the industry of cash.” Bisignanui noted industry consolidation, such as the mergefr between Atlanta-based (NYSE: DAL) and , that have made some players But he railed against what he called “archai limitations on ownership” that prevent the merginv of carriers from different countries.
