The owner of Midland's Damon's Grill says financial woes caused him to close his restaurant this week. "Unfortunately, it's just a significantly sad day," Jason Miller said in a voice mail left on a Daily News reporter's cell phone Wednesday. For some time, "just the expense of operating the business has far outweighed the revenue we've garnered there. Unfortunately, we had to make an abrupt decision to shut it down." Some of the 39 employees will be offered jobs at the Saginaw Damon's Grill, said Midlander Miller. The Midland restaurant's landlord, Bill Putman of P&P Opportunity, said he learned of the closure when an employee called him to say he'd shown up for work and found the business closed. The employee wanted to know what was happening. Then Tuesday, P&P received a call from an attorney representing Miller's business, and Putman learned that financial concerns had forced the closing.
