Since its debut, Finlays has received several different color schemes and food options. A couple of weeks ago, the small food hub was shut down and has now been painted with yet another color scheme. As for the restaurant itself? It appears to remain closed for the foreseeable future.

2 » Minion Food: New Cotton Candy!
