*** SETTLEMENT REACHED!!! ***

The issue has been resolved in an out of court settlement. see the links in the discussion below for more details.
Officially: Chuck's will not close, charges have been dropped, Chuck's will be making modifications to the restaraunt to comply with the ADA.

I wanted to try and mass message you all with the news a while back, but the group is too big (5,240 strong) so FB wont let me. So pass on the news to all that would care to know!

Thanks for your continued support of Chuck's :)




The Issue:

We all know and love Chuck's Hamburgers, the greatest breakfast place in Stockton known for its massive manhole-cover sized pancakes, huge hash brown plates, and delightful burgers. The restaurant was opened in 1955 and has been a staple in Stockton dining for decades, and has been awarded the honor of "Best Breakfast in Stockton" by the Stockton Record.

Recently Rodger Robinson, a disabled man in a wheelchair filed a law suit against Chuck's, a suit that may force Chuck's owners, "...to raise his prices or move to a different location - a hardship at the nadir of a recession already hurting business - or possibly even close."
Robinson has filed 25 similar suits on other businesses around California.

The suit aims to have Chuck's pay Robinson for the humiliation he endured, as well as to make Chuck's wheelchair friendly, a renovation that is simply unaffordable.

The point of this group is to raise awareness about the potential loss of one of our favorite local restaurants, as many people are totally unaware of the situation.
Hopefully, if we have enough support we can help make a difference and save Chuck's .
Start getting breakfast or lunch there more frequently just to give them some extra profit, and let your local friends and family know too!
In the future if the situation gets worse, we can work to organize fundraisers and try to gain other support for Chuck's to get them out of this- for lack of a better term- lame situation.


Join and help save Chuck's!!!

**Please note that the intent of this group is merely to keep a wonderful restaurant in business, not to incriminate
Robinson for having a disability in anyway. We just want to keep our giant pancakes! (read less)
