re: BR Business Report: Walk-On’s new Atlanta office serves as warning for Baton Rouge

We are friends with a restaurant manager who moved to Knoxville after working in the D.C. metro area.
He told us about the company man from Atlanta, then about that guy's replacment from Atlanta, then that company got sold and more replacements from Atlanta. Then he moved to a different franchise, again company men from Atlanta, then yet another franchise.

It almost sounded like the college assistant coach merry-go-round but with bean counters who were specialists in chain-franchise restaurants.

I expect the corporate cocktail parties are boring as all get out, but they do speak the same language of acquisitions, location acquisition, etc.

And it sounds as if Atlanta is the center of that world, especially if you're looking to take over or be taken over for a profit for the corp. owners.
