Everyone always yelled as a child "I wanna go to Mickey D's!", well will that still be the case with their new makeover? I think it will be to some extent, but I believe BK is attracting many children as well. I love the idea of having an armchair to eat in or the double drive thru lanes, it makes their service better. If you can go to a fast food restaurant and sit in a comfortable arm chair and watch tv or study with a few friends then why not? Or if you can choose to go in either lane to speed the process of ordering and getting your food in the drive thru ... then why not do it? I think that the makeover was long over due and that many other fast food chains will be doing makeovers similar to keep up with the times.
I do think that making franchise owners pay for this renovation completely out of their pocket is a little overboard since they are basically forcing the renovation upon the franchise owners.
Dillons, Walmart, and Braums are all trying to change their images. Dillons is trying to be bigger and carry more items to compete more with Walmart. If you walk into the Dillons at 21st and Maize, you can buy furniture, pictures, mirrors, tv's, and much more along with buying your groceries. What's next? A lube express with a shop out of the back of the store?
Walmart is actually downsizing a couple of its locations. There is supposed to be a Walmart built at Central and West across from the Dillons, but there isn't room for a full sized Walmart, so what i've been told is that it will be just the grocery portion of a Walmart. Will that work?
Braums now has their own grocery section called the "fresh market place" I believe. I've never seen Braums as having groceries only as having ice cream, so who knows if all these changes will really benefit these three companies.
