You know that is 5% on top of 6.5% in 2022 and 7% in 2021?
It compounds.

Correct, inflation has been damaging to the economy in many ways.

I haven’t been to the one in Brownwood in 3 years.
We ate at the Brownwood location once, didn't care for the food or atmosphere and never went back. Just my opinion, I'm sure there are people who love it. (if filing BK, I rather doubt it was busy)

A World of Beer representative contacted on Monday and said the recent filing is not expected to impact the Brownwood location.

Just got back from WoB Brownwood.

- Two empty tables
- Two empty bar seats which we took
- One tap that might have been empty, the other 37 were being used
- Friendly, efficient bartenders
- Still like the burgers

The reports of its death appear to have been greatly exaggerated

Well you did go on Monday "burger night", which is one of the best reasons to go there. Great burger for a great price. Always busy on Monday nights there. Would be nice if they offered similarly enticing deals to that throughout the week.

The bartenders I've found to always be on the ball, it's more often the wait staff where the bottleneck seems to occur. Seated at the bar the food orders just seem to come out more smoothly and you don't have to wait forever to get your bill.

We went to the Brownwood location once during a Farmers Market. Stood at the hostess podium for several minutes (seemed like a long while). No staff person in sight or called out to us verbally, so we left. We read the menu while waited and it didn’t seem worth going back to try again.

According to the site which shall not be spoken, World of Beer home office has stated that Brownwood will remain in place during and after re-organization.
