[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1038134, member: 70552"] I think the profit margin of fast food joints is definitely getting tighter. As you said the fast food market in general has become even more saturated since they left in 2001. Not just other burger places they are competing with but other street food stalls which have opened up and other competing fast food which have entered the market since 2001. What has changed Wendy’s view that things are any better now than they were when they left? You look at Bryon burger which closed half its stores recently shows even the premium end of the burger market is struggling. And the effect of Covid won’t have helped. Have you seen the The Founder? Basically the story behind how Ray Kroc screwed over the McDonald brothers. But it’s interesting that the main thing to come out of that is that McDonald’s doesn’t make it’s money from the burgers and fries it sells but the land it leases to it’s franchisees - first all over America and then worldwide. The sale of the burgers and fries etc are just a means to an end. [/QUOTE]
