Sometimes a business ends up being closed for renovations or repairs for much 
longer than expected.  One McDonalds restaurant here in Nashville, TN, USA 
closed "temporarily" over a year ago due to a fire.  It is still closed, and 
still not repaired, due to a dispute between the corporation and the city (the 
zoning board wants all of the parking to be behind the restaurant, and 
McDonalds wants the parking to be on three sides of the restaurant, as it was 
with the old building).
