June 17, 20196 yr I see the closing date of the deal. But when does operational control change hands? The day before that, I predict will be the busiest day in What-a-Burger history. And I want to be there as well.

June 17, 20196 yr So I had never heard of this runza thing and spent some time looking it up. I was unaware of Volga German presence in Nebraska. Also, the history of the restaurant contained this amusing nugget: Quote The chain attempted to expand outside of Nebraska in 1989. Executives tried to open a restaurant in the Latvian republic of the Soviet Union,[20] going as far as shipping two hundred frozen runzas to the Soviet Ministry of Agriculture as a part of its negotiations.[21]The deal fell apart after Latvia was invaded by the Soviet government in an attempt to keep it in the Union

Put a lot of them out west too, because they were already used to bleak landscapes.
June 17, 20196 yr I froze my ass off in Lincoln during my first and only visit in 2002. The runzas made good hand warmers if you put them in your coat pockets, and also flew surprisingly far after Vasher sealed the win by picking off Jammal Lord.
June 17, 20196 yr I have to admit, for someone who spends a large part of his work week finding risk points for businesses that nobody else sees coming, a Nebraska-based fast food chain’s expansion plans being vulnerable to a Soviet invasion is quite humbling. This makes the LP idiots at Juicero look like Nostradamus.

June 18, 20196 yr HOW THE FUCK DID YA'LL CONTAMINATE A WHATABURGER THREAD WITH THAT HORSEMEAT FROM runza...

June 18, 20196 yr Correct. They make it possible for someone to fast track through their system to become a manager and then later down the road, advance from day to day restaurant operations to jobs tied to corporate. I bet a number of the workforce at corporate in SA once flipped. burgers before climbing the ladder. HEB is a similar. Back in the 80s, if you were an external hire at the corporate office and didn’t come up through the ranks, your first two months were spent “working up the ladder” in one of the local restaurants.
June 19, 20196 yr It's already started. Got WB today. Ordered grilled jalapenos on my burger and there are like 3 and a half jalapeno slices on the whole thing
June 19, 20196 yr Had me some Whataburger last night, of course with a Dr. Pepper shake. I don't see anything changing as this is an investment firm not another burger chain buying them. The investment firm wants $$$$$ and so only thing I can see happening is that they take Whataburger national and sell out within 5-7 years.

I'm sure increasing the size and complexity of the supply chain will have no effect on product quality. and expanding the brand and opening new stores shouldn't cost anything at all so that's good. No reason at all for the new owners to look at cost cutting anywhere.

June 19, 20196 yr I hope they don't decrease the number of hashbrowns. I already feel somewhat short-changed by the four that come in each order, and I also understand that they're a side, but dammit, I love me some fried potatoes.
June 19, 20196 yr Had my usual (#2, add bacon, cheese, grilled onions and japs) on Monday. Came down with a nice little case of gastroenteritis yesterday. Fucking Chicagoians. Also, App ordering is live in DFW and is awesome (although it may come with a side of gastroenteritis).

How do you rationalize “the investment firm wants money” with the belief that they won’t bother to maximize profits? Just maintaining status quo has literally never happened with an investment group.

Just maintaining status quo has literally never happened with an investment group. I'm sure the playbook looks something like: 1.) Borrow a shitload of money to finance expansion and load WB with debt 2.) Take WB public using the rapid revenue growth as justification for a flashy IPO 3.) Dump their stake and let the shareholders worry about the mountain if debt. Suckers. Anybody that believes this will enhance the product we know today will be disappointed. If you live in a state that doesnt have WB, I guess this can be seen as a positive, but for Texans this can only go downhill. The owners are experts in making money, not burgers. They didnt get in this deal to become better at making burgers.

Chicago style is not just deep dish - it is like a pizza crust with 1.75" of cheese, and sauce toppings (maybe a little meat or veggies) We typically do Geno's or Giardano's - but enough pizza talk #me#2
