Not surprised, they've gone downhill and are way too expensive, but im sure they have bankruptcy plan to get back to the way they were!
Oh. Nvm, time to write them off for good...
I think people outside of flyover states are tired of these old corporate chain restaurants with terrible food and high prices.
They were restaurants that were entirely propped up by advertising. Applebee's food never looked as good in person as it did on TV, and definitely didn't taste that great.
Once Millennials started streaming video content and blocking ads there was no way they could dupe people into eating their terrible food.
Millenials were forced to go to Darren Group restaurants and Applebee's almost exclusively growing up.
Blocking advertising isn't what hurt them with millenials, it's an entire childhood of awful food.
My parents never took me to these places, so I always felt like I missed out. Now they're all way too expensive to justify but it doesn't really feel like I missed out on much. McDonald's is the weirdest one. I used to think everyone hated it, until way later when I realized, nope. It was just my dad that hated it and made it so we couldn't have it. He wouldn't even drink Coke
Sounds like a good dad, all things considered.
lol. That's an overly-generous way to look at it.
If only those were the only ways he forced everyone in his family to agree to support his personal preferences
For the lessons you're maybe thinking of, I'd give credit to my mom. She wouldn't let us have things like chef boyardee (had to look up the spelling. lol) because she'd say it wasn't as real but then would instead make legit pasta with store-bought ingredients. Whereas my dad would just prefer Burger King instead of McDonald's for some reason. Dude just hated things that were popular and happened to be right a couple of times. Bonus points if kids really wanted something he didn't care for - then he happily rubbed our faces in how we were dumb for wanting what everyone else wanted.
All said, they were immigrants so advertising def had to hit different for them
