It comes up weekly because people are still going. They don't care how many times you stomp your feet on a message board when you're still hitting that drive thru. Stop going.

Canes was so much better when it was just in Louisiana

But for whatever reason every regional fast food restaurant feels the need to expand nation wide. Case and point, Whataburger and in n out

Fwiw i know Bucees gets a lot of love here.. i stopped today at the one in Alabama, whichever shithole town that is- i got a BBQ brisket sandwich, a small bag of “Bucee chips” and a 16 oz A&W root beer .. the total came to $19.34.. that was for one person, i dont know how you baws with big families do it.. granted, Bucee’s might be a slight step above Canes, maybe- though basically it’s a gas station.. and the sandwich was good, but not some poboy size, it was like the size of a burger.. still, i felt sort of ripped off .

Why did you ever go to Canes? It's bland, boring and satisfies only pedestrian tastes. Oh, wowwww, mayo, ketchup and worstershire mixed together in which to dip bland soggy chicken.

Fun fact: It isn’t just Canes. It’s every restaurant out there. And grocery store too.

That is what the canes brand is valued at, he doesn’t have that kind of cash, but he owns 90% of canes

Projected growth of 100 stores a year is part of that valuation, he isnt worth that but he could prolly sell it for close to that, it truly is an amazing business story

He sold 10% of company for 500 mill

They do $700mm in sales a year, at 15% profit

He holds virtually no debt considering his size, and he is just starting out in franchising.


He’s probably made a billion in profit over past 20 years

It's $11 and change for a box combo. I won't go because it's unhealthy.

So you fed 2 people for $20.

I mean, it should be like $15 but I have said it before don’t get the drink.

When I was growing up, we might have eaten out 1-2 a year. There is no rule saying someone has to eat out.

A caniac is $15 and has more food than what you ordered. Just need another small drink and your good.

For some odd reason, we felt the need to get Zaxby’s tonight. 2 kids and 2 adults = $40.
