That place is pretty good, but I've only seen it in malls.

Wish they had street locations.


I'm not trying to go up in a mall food court on my lunch break ...

because they get more customers there and their management decided against building new building for their places.

Mmm-hmm. It's all about Profit vs. Expenses. Mall location = one bill to pay every month.

Street location = rent + electric+gas+insurance+exterminator, etc etc.

The Mall is expensive, but probably 1/2 of a normal store.

Yes.. I understand why businesses put location in malls

But this business only does malls.


If malls, are so much more profitable, why do you see a million more
free standing fast food places outside the mall ?


I'm sure the Great Steak could do both, like most others (Sbarro, Taco Bell, McDonalds, A & W, etc..)

They might figure that they are the equivalent of a take-out only joint with no possibility of making a drive-through work since the food prep takes too long.

In that case, only a mall or airport location makes sense.

Why can't Sbarro and other mall pizza stores deliver? I love their pizza.

How can I forget CINNABON!!!!!!!!!!

I emailed them a picture of me enjoying one of their tasty cinnabons and they sent me a gift certificate for a free cinnabon. That's awesome.
