Kroc said that McDonald's was not about food, but about real estate.

I guess Domino's is not about pizza, but about roofing tiles.

McDonald’s used to be about real estate. These days, lots of fast food joints - including Chipotle and McD, sold the land and lease it back. You can earn 4-10% cash-on-cash for 1-35 years. And some increase the lease payments on a schedule.

Papa John and Dominos both forced their founders out for not being woke. I do my part with ‘Go woke, go broke’. Any company worried about ESG score loses my business - exceptions being a few products that have no reasonable substitute. But there’s always another pizza joint. I like Chicago style, but that’s hard to find, as quality ingredients are hard to source in quantity. I went back to the piiza joint rated #1 in Chicago in 1980. It barely beat Little Caesar’s (which I’m convinced uses Velveeta).
