If that were the case, then they wouldn’t be so reliant on the federal government for their budget every year.

Community has been hiring like crazy. This is just an expansion, not a move.
Smoothie King, Ruth’s Chris, and Popeye’s were hiring like crazy as well when HQ in LA.

Most states that abolish their state income tax would tell you it increases revenue by attracting citizens. You are aware getting property and sales tax is a revenue stream as well, right?
LA is in a battle with other states to attract earning citizens and though the entire sunbelt is growing, LA is lagging horribly.

Considering CC executives stood in opposition to the St.George incorporation, Frick em. Hypocritical grifters.

And just wait - when they see the price of private school options in the Frisco area, they’ll be wishing they were back in Louisiana!!!
That’s because no one send their kids to private school here unless they need extra attention. Our public schools are really good and neighborhood based.

Officially? Maybe for now. But prepare your anus. No LA company “expands” into Dallas. They quietly move there. You probably still think the Canes home office is still really in BR, don’t you?
I have no idea about Canes HQ nor do I care. I just know for a fact that they are staying put. Can't say anything else.
Posted on 6/7/23 at 6:17 pm to goofball
Same thing Canes did. Move the corporate offices to Dallas and tap into their resources. I’m sure they will keep their production here on the river, but they will run the business side from Dallas.
I’m not blaming them because I know the state of affairs in BR and the politics, but it would be awesome if these companies stayed in BR and helped BR advance. It’s just a shame BR cannot compete.

I think the only way to really fight this trend is to become a place that focuses on start ups. Louisiana has been the founding place for a lot of successful businesses like Cane's, Walk On's, Shaw Group, Lamar, a bunch of industrial service companies, etc. They stay for at least some time before they either leave or change hands. Maybe eventually we keep a few of them around and we actually have some white collar jobs here outside of advanced engineering or industrial tech.
This is great if it's 1985. The only problem is that the rest of the world has also moved on. Maybe if our heads weren't up our asses 40 years ago, we wouldn't have been caught sleeping.
It's over. All we are here is waiting to move away...

I've always felt like their CC's Coffee House business could do better if they just had the balls to expand. It's hard to do that and maintain good employees, but it's not impossible. They need to add locations in newer developments in outlying suburbs the way Starbucks does - and move into neighboring metros like Lake Charles, Houston, Memphis, Mobile, etc. CC's has a decent product with decent prices - better than Starbucks in many cases. They just need convenient retail locations. And that requires aggressive location scouts and a little risk taking. And expand into prime locations before Starbucks does.
Same for PJ's. You PJ's leaders (if you post here) need to grow a sack and expand. Starbucks is beating you with inferior product on your own home turf because they have more/better locations. Hell in PJ's case even CC's is eating their lunch, and CC's is terrified of their own shadow. Take some risks and expand. The people want good coffee, and you want good customers.
We have PJ's over here in Baldwin County, Alabama. Place in Spanish Fort is always jam packed.

Texas has a margin tax on businesses, which is essentially an income tax.
Texas has done a hell of a PR job convincing people the taxes are low here. Lmaoo.
ETA: The franchise tax has a no-tax due threshold of $1.23 million, so not all businesses are impacted by the margin tax. Community Coffee definitely would be subject to the tax.

Their corporate is off Jefferson sort of behind the BR Business Report office. Fairly small building considering the size of the company. They likely have a fairly lean corporate structure.
They have a roasting operation at the port of Baton Rouge (you can smell it coming up the bridge from the west side) and a huge DC a couple of miles away in Lobdell.

Most interesting in this St. George opera has been the 11th-hour emergence of some two dozen prominent business leaders who, in a hallelujah moment of greater good clarity, joined hands to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony while declaring their opposition to largely middle-class residents forming their own city.
It was an A-list gathering of the business elite. People who matter in this “who you know” town. People like John Engquist, Sean Reilly, Donna Saurage, Richard Lipsey, Shawn Usher and—in absentia—Jim Bernhard and Mike Wampold.

This definitely sounds like community coffee is telling Louisiana not to worry about their new friend they’ve been texting on the side
