Shake shack is not a fast food restaurant you’re comparing apples and oranges.

No. I’m responding to what was posted.

You need to address the person who listed 3 together.

As someone who lived in Texas for a decade but no longer does, I’d much rather Texas export HEB.

GOAT grocery store.

There is no significant difference between Whataburger, in n out, and shake shack 



Whataburger is the only one that needs disgusting mutant onions on its burger to give it flavor

So, wrong

In n out is the Honda Accord of burgers. Nothing special but very reliable

I'm taking quality. I already noted the difference in product. In n out and shake shack are more similar and Whataburger is on its own.

six months later..... Private equity firm is closing 1000 Whataburger locations and consolidating operations. Stock prices are up 12%.


Does Whataburger franchise everything or does corporation own and run locations?

If they own the real estate first thing new owner will do is separate real estate and then eventually sell it off like the management firm did that acquired Red Lobster.

The Dobson family will be set up for generations now. We hope to see the final $$ they are getting from the sale.

And to top things off in Texas Schlitterbahn has been sold to Cedar Fair from Ohio.

Bland refers to flavor which is taste, not quality of meat.

Prices go up
Quality goes down

Private equity sets in 2 - 3 years to some multinational like YUM after doubling or tripling their investment.

I am old enough to remember when the Colonel was still at the helm of Kentucky Fried Chicken and it was the bomb. I remember when Taco Bell was actually good and you got a dec ent portion for the price. Pizza Hut was much better than it is now and I actually used to eat there.

Now all 3 are owned by YUM and I would not eat at any of them on a dare.

Both Shake Shack (especially) and INO are superior.

This probably means WB will go for aggressive multi-state expansion.
