Crumbling WWII bunker to become Olive Garden

In the shadow of the Cape May light house at the southern most tip of New Jersey sits a symbol of our country's defense during World War II. The Cape May bunker (pictured above) was built in 1942 for the purpose of defending the Delaware Bay—and ultimately the port of Philadelphia—against a possible attack from German submarines or ships. Yesterday, it was announced that Darden Restaurants had purchased the landmark and will covert the relic into an Olive Garden, one of the company's most popular chains. "This is new territory for Olive Garden," said Fred Gionnini, CFO of Darden Restaurants. "I guarantee, however, that the 6-ft thick concrete walls won't affect our great tasting breadsticks." There is a similar bunker on the Delaware side of the bay. Darden also purchased this site and may open a Red Lobster or a LongHorn Steakhouse. The company outbid Pizza Hut, Cinnabon and Starbucks to acquire the sites, which are both part of state parks.
