Two business partners who are closing a deal to purchase He’s Not Here will not take ownership of the Chapel Hill staple today, as was originally planned.
Neal DePersia of National Restaurant Properties, the company that He’s Not owner David Kitzmiller hired to market the business, said last week that ownership would ideally transition by today.
DePersia said Tuesday that the deal is still in the process but will not be complete today.
He said he could not comment on the cause of the delay.
In an email Sunday, DePersia said the deal is in the hands of an attorney who needs to finalize the wording of the lease that is acceptable to all.
He said those involved in the deal must also have the signatures of the physical property’s landlords before they can close.
