I agree about the prices. They didn't say they would raise the prices but they said they will do away with the specials like 2 for $25. That's the same as raising prices.

They might not go out of business. But if and when their plan fails, they will have to rethink what they are doing and come up with a better plan. Although, they will never admit to a failed plan. Maybe they are hoping that a better economy will come to the rescue
That was not a treasure trove of anything. It was a repeat of what was said on the national news and in two newspapers, quoting from the CEO. I don't read the Daily Sun.

I guess you wouldn't know if the ingredients are better if you don't eat there. Any of the rest of us who shop for ingredients and cook will recognize a good ingredient from a poor one.
