5. Sbarfo's is closing 155 stores!?!?
 - So why are they leaving the rest of them open???
Sbarfo's: proof that corporations can ruin even pizza. And that alone makes them evil incarnate..... K&R |

32. The margin on pizza is 90%. Cheapest thing you can make
|
3 super thin slices of pepperoni adds $1.25 or $1.50 to the price of a slice. In other words 10 cents worth of processed pork fat and connective tissue and red food dye gets sold for $1.50.
1 in 8 Americans will eat pizza today, and most of that pizza will be mediocre yet people keep coming back. Pizza is the T-ball of retail food, so easy. If they can't make a profit selling pizza then they SHOULD quit, but possibly this is all a play to get their rents reduced (or rolled back) and get other concessions from their vendors.  |
