SethG Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 And now Ko. Momofuku going the way of Rite Aid. Or just refocusing all their effort into CPGs, maybe. That’s where the money is, I guess… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yes. Chang has done the chef thing and is moving into other revenue streams. Blame him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethG Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Well I must not know anything about retailing. Color me shocked that a store open a whole two to three days a week (when it wasn’t just randomly closed for the better part of a month to go on vacation or something) couldn’t survive.  Edited October 30, 2023 by SethG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Restaurants are really only good for losing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their prices were often better than Best Produce or whatever it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If I'd wanted to make money, I'd have opened a sandwich bar." (Had to look up his name: Alistair Little.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the other fact, that most of that stuff - no one gives a shit about.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
