Re: Ahold Delhaize Strategy Day
A "Strategy Day" type open house is not going to announce anything of substance from a transaction perspective, or even anything from a financial or restructuring perspective. These types of calls happen all the time at retailers, they're usually called "investor day" and they a...

There are still some chains left like Armstrong in SoCal but they have skewed to more premium quality plants that don't really compete with the o...

Re: CA Senate Bill 478- "Junk fees" bill
“To-go” requires packaging, which costs more nowadays, especially because foam containers are verboten in many areas of the country. Dine in requires none of that packaging.
