“Our business strategy is to lose money on every sale but make up for it in volume.”

Sounds like those idiots that use to try and Buy telecom and Internet services from me in the late 90’s.

I never understood the rationale.

I grew up believing you had to make money before embarking on financed growth.

Then again, there is Amazon...

People love grilled cheese sandwiches. Apparently losing money on it doesn't seem to lower demand for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Seems to me that Anabaena, the photosynthesizing, nitrogen-fixing algae company ought to get together with the grilled cheese folks and have green cheese trucks.

Nice, but at six to eight bucks for a regular sandwich? Ow! For that price I can score a steak hoagie double meat with provolone and it’s here in 15 minutes...

I think there COULD be enough people to buy truck vended grilled cheese, BUT the name is so generic that nothing stops “The Grilled Cheese Van Man” the “Grilled Cheese Mobile” The “Grilled Cheese and Gourmet Hot Dog Truck”, etc. from shadowing it or at least putting a dent in the profits. Even an extraordinary grilled cheese cold be mimicked if need be.

You can run any business as long as you can borrow money.
