Re: Carls Jr. Reduce Dine In Hours: Sacramento Area

Closing at 8 will be a disaster. During summer it is sunny until almost 9 PM at night. The days are burning hot at 90 to 100 degrees. People only come out after it cools down around 8:30 PM. The restaurants will lose tons of customers if they close at 8.

Re: Five Below - Self Checkout Not Allowed

Five Below attracts teenagers and young adults due to the pop culture items. The stores look fancy with colorful signage. Many of these customers would never set foot in a messy Dollar Tree. Trying to sell Five Below items at Dollar Tree will be hit or miss. The pop culture items may sit there for a...

Cracker Barrel is planning drastic changes due to their financial struggles. They are planning price changes, menu changes, and a restaurant size decrease of 15%. They say the number of seats will be the same, but the restaurant will be reduced by 15 percent. The restaurant will be really packed if ...

Sweet Heat Trend & Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel is jumping on the sweet heat trend with hot honey. They have a new bee sting chicken sandwich. Also they have a watermelon lemonade now. I am almost curious to go and try one. It would be long drive since they closed so many restaurants recently. https://www.brandeating.com/2024/05/cr...

Re: Five Below - Self Checkout Not Allowed

That is terrible. I would be fine if they had several cashiers at regular check stands. Just make sure the registers are staffed, and I would gladly use a cashier. I visited 5 Below for the first time the other day. It had many interesting looking pop culture items. However, chips were cheaper at th...

Pizza Hut Getting Into The Burger Business

Pizza Hut is coming out with a cheeseburger melt.
It is sort of like a Pizza and burger mash up that you can eat on the run.

The restaurant already serves fries, so burgers are a similar step forward.

Re: Jack in the Box Daily Free Item

I used to go to Jack In The Box very often about 4 years ago when the app had free items every week. For some reason the free items disappeared and the app was redesigned. The lack of free items made me avoid Jack In The Box as other restaurants have free items or deals every day. I have noticed tha...

Buffalo Wild Wings All You Can Eat Mondays and Wednesdays

Buffalo Wild Wings must be desperate for business now. They are offering boneless wings and fries Mondays and Wednesdays for $19.99. I wish there were more locations as many closed in the past 4 years. https://www.brandeating.com/2024/05/buffalo-wild-wings-all-you-can-eat-boneless-wings-mondays-and-...

Re: Circle K Lowers Prices on Drinks

My nearest Cirkle K in Concord in the San Francisco Bay Area rebranded from Circle K recently. It is now a Diamond Gas station and convenience store with some of the cheapest gas in the area at $4.89 a gallon. It was a tiny Circle K that was just a bit larger than a cashier booth. The gas used to be...
