Wrong again DC83. If you took the time to read my posts THROUGHOUT the Forum, you would see that I am only here to express my opinion--sure there are times that I disagree--often it seems I am the only dissenter. If I see a post I disagree with--you can be darn sure I'm going to say my piece. Your desire to make me and my opinions go away speaks volumes about the strength and validity of the arguments you make. I suppose it's unfortunate for you when someone comes along with differing opinions and interupts you while you're busy patting each other on the back.

The Second Cup in Westdale--which I think is in a great spot--went into an existing building--in fact, it was a hardware store when I was a lad. How does that differ from King & Hughson?

As for Joyce--he expresses regret about selling the chain in his autobiography--which is an excellent read. His concerns mostly surround PR issues and the decision to go with par-baked goods across the board in lieu of keeping at least some products baked in-store. He has some fairly unsavory things to say about Wendys as an organization and about the late Dave Thomas who he paints as an oddly insecure and passive agressive man. Nonetheless, drive-thrus and standardized store designs were all established under Joyce--in fact, the stores have had various standardized designs since the 1970s.
