The country band is opening its own chain of themed restaurants around the United States and Canada. Rascal Flatts' first location will be in Phoenix. More restaurants are planned for next year, including one in the Twins Cities metro.

A sign on the door of the restaurant chain's Plymouth location says it closed for financial reasons, the Star Tribune reports. Senser's in Eagan closed in November, also apparently because of financial hardships.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for Minnesota says 12 high-traffic restaurants on or adjacent to Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis will be checked to make sure they are in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. The check does not suggest the restaurants are out of compliance, a spokeswoman with the office says.
