Having Wendy's and BK next to each other in the same strip under same management seems stranger and is much different than having Sakura Sushi, China Gormet & PDQ. In the case of the latter the fact they all serve food is the only commonality which shouldn't disallow them. We used to have a store and the lease terms of what types of possible other tenants leasing space was always clearly spelled out so we would know up front. Obviously Wendy's & BK were well aware of it before signing and feel they're serving a different clientele OR can pull from each other's traffic. There must be some method to their thinking.

Interesting to see so many armchair marketing experts here. Me? I've worked retail, including fast food, for the better part of the last 40 years. I've also lived in walking distance to the main road in my suburban town for over 15 years. We've had a Taco Bell, a Wendy's, McDonalds, THREE Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Burger King, Outback, Pizza Hut, FOUR locally owned non-chain pizza joints, Boston Market, a diner, two luncheonettes, and a few of those nasty Chinese buffets that always get a C grade from the heath department and close down a few years after they open.

Of those, only the Pizza hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and the nasty Chinese joints have closed down. This is all within a 1.5 mile stretch in the suburbs. All within walking/bike riding distance to my house.

I imagine if they paid heed to the armchair marketing experts here, they all would have gone out of business years ago. Glad they didn't!

Edited to add: the Wendy's was there for almost 20 years before they finally closed up. The Pizza Hut never really stood a chance, this is New Haven county, home of some of the best pizza in the world (officially).

Edited to add: we ALSO have a normal chinese takeout, an upscale italian restaurant, a moderately priced very popular italian restaurant, an indian food place (fairly new, not as good as a couple others in the county), a place that specializes in fried hot dogs, and a burger/dog/fried seafood place with the best hot buttered lobster rolls in the area. ALL within bicycle-riding distance of my house (within 1.5 miles in either direction).

The discussion started out about having them in the same managed strip mall. Of course you will find them all over up and down any main road. Must have had 30 fast food places within 1-2 mile of our home up north. Generally, and from my experience from our own retail stores often there are "no compete" clauses in a strip mall lease for specific types of businesses. I'd hate to take a 10 year lease on a strip mall location then find a virtually identical business opening 2 doors down. Obviously in this instance either they were aware of it up front and felt it wouldn't harm them (or could even help them) or they were informed anyone can open anything as long as they have a way to pay the rent and didn't care.

I was hoping for a Culver’s somewhere in south TV. Colony Plaza always seemed a good place for a Dunkin’s and Bonefish down south makes sense to me too.

Does anyone know why this Trailwinds Village is moving slower than molasses in January? I have never seen such slow construction work except where there is a money shortage. I drove by Jersey Mike's yesterday, and they seem to be nowhere near opening. I have seen Subway rent space and be open for business in less than 2 weeks.
