In reply to the discussion: Citing Crime, In-N-Out announces closure of Oakland location [View all]Lurker Deluxe
(1,041 posts)In the newly vacated store front from any of the big boys when they move out of an area, not because of anything other than "not profitable enough", surely others are snatching up the opportunity to move in.
When one of the big boys builds out a location they spare little expense; electrical, HVAC, lighting, doors, windows, and various other things that are heavy costs to opening up a business. When they move out they take very little of that infrastructure with them, costs a lot to remove it just as it does to put it in.
So, these areas that the big boys are fleeing from must have plentiful new small business moving right in.
Correct?
Been downtown SanFran in a minute? Wonder why that is just not true there ...
Oakland is booming, right? Or is it just the same ... everyone is just to greedy to do business there as they will not make "enough".
Sounds a little ... fishy.
