Subway
I feel like I’m their most loyal customer. There is one practically across the street from my house, less than a 3 minute drive.

Yet, I stop by and grab a sandwich only about once a month. It’s always around noon. The busiest I’ve ever witnessed has been two tables occupied by a total of three people and two others waiting in line.

Usually it’s just me and one other customer. Occasionally there will be a Door Dash driver at the drive-thru window.

Taaka vodka


One of the first sprits owned by the Sazerac Company (which owns Buffalo Trace). More pints and half pints of Taaka have been sold and drank before they have traveled a few blocks from the place of purchase than you will ever know.

The Burger King closest to our house is still pretty good. I’ve had some bad ones occasionally while traveling but this one has a friendly staff and the food is good.

We did have a pretty good Arby’s shut down in the last month. Not sure why. I ate there with my sons about a month ago and last week we drove by on our way home and it was closed up.

Nokia. Profitable company that’s has transformed from the cellphone business to technology infrastructure and a robust patent portfolio.

Hooters, for a lot of reasons.

The current man hating political environment demonizing anything that can be deemed as "sexualizing" women.
No need to go to sports bars with every game being televised.
Those "sexy outfits" are quant in this day and age (wearing hose with shorts? )
Most young guys are Low T and don't have disposable income.
Food sucks.

There are 2 Office Depots in Lake Charles, which seems really surprising in 2026.
