When driving near 58th and Georgia lately it was highly noticed how fast they are moving on their new projects. We have the Chick-fil-A being built. They are working on that. Then there is the other food project.
It has been a month since the Popeyes on Paramount here in Amarillo abruptly closed. It all started with again another fire. That fire caused a lot of damage and spoiled food. So it made sense that they were going to be closed.
We love pizza here in Amarillo, right? We love lots of pizza. So when I see Pizza Hut on Coulter has brought back the buffet you have to love it right? Does the Pizza Hut buffet bring back great memories? It does for me.
Advertising can make or break a company. Really. You come up with a catchy jingle and people will be singing it for days. You come up with a great marketing campaign and people will be talking about it still decades later.
This has been a crazy ride. Ever since the pandemic first hit and places have had to close we have been hit with staffing shortages. Many restaurants have been hit. Many are trying their darnedest to get employees in to work so that they can all operate on a normal basis.
