I would like to be fit like this guy and open and sell all the time restaurants. What I don't understand is a review by the new owner of the Chunky Monkey on Google Maps. He writes that you should not eat at his restaurant Chunky Monkey but at the Happy Hippo. Does not make sense to me to say please eat at my competition. Does anyone understand this? Below from Google Maps a review at the Chunky Monkey from the owner of the Chunky Monkey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously not going into details, but I am certain that his health issues are real and originated with injuries some years ago. That's as much detail on a private matter that I shall divulge, so if you want to know more, go and ask him yourself. He's very open to discussion but it's for him to explain not me.

I don't think that he would allow anyone to claim it on Google Maps. Perhaps he is still owner and wants to move the customers to the Happy Hippo? Perhaps his friends here know more. I was just wondering since I had the information that he sold the Chunky Monkey. Perhaps this was not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that he was owner of the Chunky Monkey and I ate there once after he just opened (checked the site on Google Maps first and it was there already). I didn't understand why he sold it after a couple of months. In the end the new Hungry Hippo 200 meters away is a copy of the Chunky Monkey. Perhaps his real business is opening and selling restaurants. The Hungry Hippo is on sale now too not long after he opened it. Not sure if the owner of the Chunky Monkey knows about the business presentation on Google Maps :-) I was just wondering about this strange review there. You don't see this often that the owner of a restaurant says that his food is not good and you better eat at the nearby competition. I just looked on Google Maps again and I even found a 2nd bad review by the "owner". Very interesting... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the moron doesn't realize that he has some cookies on his PC and that Google still see him as the owner. Would really be interesting if those reviews were forwarded to the current Chunky Monkey owner, I feel a lawsuit is coming.

Everybody can add an entry on Google Maps. But this entry is "claimed". That means somebody has the user for this account / entry. And this user gets all reviews and is the "owner".

I don't really understand what that means, but to me it's quite obvious that the current owner of the Chunky Monkey isn't writing those reviews. So previous owner must be involved in these "reviews" Edited May 11, 2020 by Susco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
