The franchise and using TV product, yadda yadda... As far as the peeps who work in Corporate, they all might be friendly and nice people, and I know none of them. But I do know of their actions as a whole, and that is what is being critiqued here. This hopscotching locations and having warehouse sales, are baffling. The Kahiki direction of mass bottling their pre-made mixers, and now opening a Trader Vic's Bar & Grill...It all seems a directionless, cheap on the move attempts, as if they are unsure how to create more revenue and need to test all mass avenues. In business practice, that can be considered a red flag, and I just felt the need to address it and see what others think. [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2010-02-24 17:57 ]
