In some case, certain franchised food establishments with struggle and perhaps close when changes in surrounding demographics make their business either unappealing or obsolete.<br /><br />I hope this helps.<br /><br />Thanks for your questions and readership.

These boutiques, however, have been flipping and changing pretty rapidly. <br /><br />VAHI is appropriate for these female-only cutey-pie stores. But it can only support so many of them. By my count, there are still 4 very close by.<br /><br />Because these two spaces are next to each other, it really presents an opportunity for a retailer with a good idea that requires more square footage.<br /><br />A digression:<br />Park Atlanta, being the total pricks that they are, have certainly made things hard for the retailers. I wonder if this will result in lower rents ---> lower real estate valuation ---> lower property taxes ---> less tax revenue. If it does, then this whole, dumb Park Atlanta experiment really has no winners.<br /><br />Maybe this will translate into lower rents. And, perhaps, lower real estate valuation. This could result in lower property taxesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-38013450102960145692014-02-03T16:23:09.216-05:002014-02-03T16:23:09.216-05:00blog owner - do you have any perspective on my que...blog owner - do you have any perspective on my questions above?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-23121516170035536922014-01-27T15:41:04.529-05:002014-01-27T15:41:04.529-05:00sbux barista here!

Additionally, for the first month we will still have the current lemon loaf, pumpkin bread, and banana bread before switching to the LB ones.

I don't understand how a KFC wouldn't make money. <br /><br />Also - what do you attribute Virginia Highland's recent failures to?<br /><br />Ugh the robot thing below is really annoying and hard to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-3528348264296203972014-01-27T00:41:35.860-05:002014-01-27T00:41:35.860-05:00The two times I was at SBUX locations in CA recent...The two times I was at SBUX locations in CA recently, I wasn't eating gluten, so I only observed but didn't experience the La Boulange items. I must admit they appeared fairly unexceptional in the pastry case, but I do believe they'll be a step above the items SBUX now features that (in a blind taste test) one may guess instead came from Sam's Club. After 31 days of free mediocre-to-bad espresso beverages this month, though, it'll be awhile before I'm eager to return to SBUX for any reason.Carlhttp://twitter.com/Carlnoreply@blogger.com
