Heard Fox’s lease ends in March and might not be renewed. Allegedly, there might be condos built. Anyone know anything in regards to Fox’s potentially closing next year? I sure hope it doesn’t!

Thats what happens when real estate become worth millions, why run a bar with huge liability when you can cash out big with no worries. Glad dude steeped up at roadrunner to keep the dream alive.

Someone wrote on Facebook it was going up for auction and then there was a series of posts saying it was bullshit or it wasn’t bullshit. I wish someone would talk to Donnie and get the real information..

I heard it’s real 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dave, I heard both Foxs and the Sandbar next door are being auctioned off by the State of Arizona and that both leases are up in April.
Just got proof of the Sandbar Sale.
My brother keeps a trailer there and got the note below.
Gotta believe there is a lot of truth to the rumor.
Sad.

Imagine the amount of pickles that are going to be sold somewhere else in a bloody. Foxes can’t close

I'm not super familiar with the goings-on at the strip . . .

Honest question(s) . . . are those properties in high demand??? . . . Meaning is there a shortage of parks (or facilities) near and around that area that this property could potentially become? Hard for me to wrap my head around the cost to build vs the return on investment . . . (Sundance comes to mind).
Is the lease simply up and the state just wants the money??? Or do they want' these facilities closed and gone ???

Obviously I know the strip is super popular . . . I was just curious if there was more demand than supply and hence the sale vs a lease renewal??? . . . what am I missing?

So thinking outside the box….

Does the Liquor license go away OR do the operators keep it ? Can they just move to another location?


That SUCKS

The State of AZ seems to be on a cash grab and selling off some great waterfront properties. The land up on the island and now Fox’s. Wonder what is next?
Two different entities. The land recently auctioned on the Island at Havasu was Arizona State Trust (Held in trust for colleges and schools to benefit from), the land under Foxes and Sandbar is the State of Arizona, not the trust.

Just to go on the record, we are changing ownership but everything will stay the same.
Hope thats true, only been there once but met some fantastic people. Water and fire I can stare at for hours and truly relax, nothing like Foxes where I live.

I wouldn't be surprised if Garrett and Laynee Sholl who now own Roadrunner bid on Foxs.
