Nolte: Six Shake Shacks Forced to Close in Democrat-run California
breitbart ^ | 8-29-2024 | John Nolte

Six Shake Shacks are closing in Democrat-run California. The company explained the locations are “not projected to provide acceptable returns in the foreseeable future.”

Five of those six California closings are in Democrat-run Los Angeles.

Shake Shack is also closing one location in Ohio and two in Texas.

The Post adds that this is “the first time the chain will close restaurants for purposes that were not construction-related,” according to a Shake Shack spokesperson who spoke with Restaurant Business, a trade publication that first reported on the closings.

All the closings will be complete by September 25.

This is what happens when a fascist government interferes with the free market.

No one is arguing the free market is perfect, but like democracy and America, it is the best we’ve been able to come up with. The company refused to comment to the New York Post on the question of whether California’s insane $20 minimum wage law had anything to do with these locations being unable to “provide acceptable returns in the foreseeable future,” but I think we all know the answer to that.

Keep in mind that in Gavin Newsom’s California, there is another agenda at work here. When the government turns labor into something unaffordable, a black market soon follows. The lunatic leftists who run California unopposed know this, and they know that to remain unopposed they must import Democrats from the third-world. And one way to keep those illegal Democrats flooding into California is to ensure they have jobs through a labor black market created by anti-American-worker policies.

“Shake Shack is also closing one location in Ohio and two in Texas.”

Times are tough for all restaurants. People just don’t have the spare cash to eat out as much. They are buying groceries and cooking at home.
Buy stock in grocery chains, not restaurant chains.

Shake Shack is very well run. I have never heard of them shutting down a store before. I never see Chinese restaurants go out of business.

We used to have 5 buffet restaurants here/ Only three survived the scamdenic. Those three are Chinese buffets. Chinese roast duck is the best! I ate lots of it at a local Chinese buffet two weeks ago. After tip and tax the price was 14 or 15 dollars/ And lots of clean (not greasy) veg dishes there too. Fresh fruit for desert, such as oranges and pineapple.

I was not aware that SS is a woke corporation. But they are successful and always get great free PR from the mass media.

Perhaps only two will remain in business — one of them managed by a Black person.

No Worries! The government will take over the Shake Shacks and install the chief of the Chaz Chop Autonomous Zone from Seattle, Raz Simone. Raz will then partner with La Raza and the DemoKKKrats. Fundraisers and GoFundMe pages will be established so that, no matter how much does not sell, all of the important people will ‘get paid.’

I noticed that Chick-fil-A seems to be running more ads several months ago

Their Wokeness and high prices to boot drove me away.

Ha. Adios, Shake Shack.

My employer at the time offered 4 hours of pay.

I ignored it. Repeatedly.

Of course they ran me off too because my eyesight isn’t the best right now for close work.

Montrose? Gays must all be eating at Chick-fil-a in Houston. Galleria - is it going the way of all malls?
