Rum Runner's Turned J and F's Pot of Gold?

The temporarily named J&F's Pot of Gold, formerly known as Rum Runners, located in downtown South Bend has officially dropped their franchisee and decided to embark upon a venture of their own. The decorative theme and nightly specials are expected to remain solid throughout the process. The 21 and up bar and restaurant is known for its tropical atmosphere and dueling pianos and is dear to the hearts of South Bend college students particularly on Wednesday nights when they provide well mixed drinks for just $.75 a pop.

Sources say that the downtown hotspot hasn't lost its steam and that the owners are just eager to run things the way they want to without being attached to the strings of their franchiser. They maintain that the restaurant's fairly recent move from the 100 Center in Mishawaka to the growing downtown district of South Bend was a good decision. The business has since gained more popularity and revenue.

It's hard to guess how long it will take for J&F's Pot of Gold to take it's name to fame, however, the owners aren't expecting it to stick and plan to change it one last final time in the spring. To Tequila Tamers? Or Randy Brandys, perhaps? We'll just have to wait a few months and see.
