So Long, Studio

"So Long, Studio" is the 19th episode in the third season of Punky Brewster.

Summary
While Henry is closing his studio for the day, he is approached by Matt Glossy (David Spielberg), the owner of Glossy's, which is a $40,000,000 empire of photography stores. Glossy admits that his real name is Sam Glossy, and that he thought the name "Matt Glossy" sounded better for business. Glossy is going to be opening a branch in the Midtown Mall, but he wants to give Henry a fair chance and buy out his studio rather than running it out of business. Glossy offers to buy Henry's studio for $100,000 so he can turn it into a branch of Glossy's. Henry, who has been a photographer for 43 years, accepts the offer, and Glossy hires Henry as the manager of that branch of Glossy's. But Henry feels so miserable working for the tyrannical Glossy that he ends up quitting. Punky convinces Henry to use the $100,000 he got from Glossy to open up a new restaurant. Since it was Punky's idea, Henry names the new restaurant "Punky's Place".
