New owners are hoping a $30 million makeover can turn things around for the O'Charley's restaurant chain. The Nashville-based chain has struggled to stay afloat amid the recession. American Blue Ribbon Holdings purchased the chain in May. They're giving the company a facelift, while attempting to stay true to its southern roots. The Murfreesboro Road location is the first of 213 franchise locations getting a new look. Some walls have been taken down to open up the restaurant, and the walls have been painted to create a brighter atmosphere. The renovations are an effort to help O'Charley's stake a new claim in a crowded field of restaurants.
"American Blue Ribbon Holdings has invested some significant capital and resources in order to turn O'Charley's around," says Vice President of Operations Mickey Mills.
The new owners plan to spend between $200,000-$250,000 to remodel each of its restaurants. Despite the changes, O'Charley's hopes to keep its southern roots. The first O'Charley's opened on 21st Avenue in Nashville in 1971.

Pharmacist admits misbranding dialysis drugs
May 21, 2013 21:08 GMT
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A Tennessee pharmacist has admitted distributing a misbranded Chinese-made drug that was given to kidney dialysis patients in Kansas.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 53-year-old Robert Harshbarger Jr., of Kingsport, Tenn., pleaded guilty Tuesday in Topeka to one count each of distributing a misbranded drug and health care fraud.
Harshbarger admitted that from 2004 to 2009, he substituted a cheaper Chinese import for an iron sucrose drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The drugs were given to patients of Kansas Dialysis Services. Prosecutors say there were no reports of harm, but patients were put at risk because the FDA could not assure the drugs' effectiveness and safety.
Harshbarger's plea deal calls for four years in prison, restitution of nearly $849,000 and a forfeiture of $425,000.
