EDIT: I recall reading last year where IHOP and Wendy’s were in trouble also. IMO, Should all three bite the dust in 2012 it would bring home the impact of the poor state of the economy to the average Jane and Joe MORE than all the bank failures have so far.
I thought I read that Wendy’s had moved in 2nd place behind Mickey D’s replacing Burger King?
I’m also surprised by Kohl’s. The stores near us seem to do a bang up business.
