This is the same private equity company behind Subway & Dunkin’ Donuts that I never visit 🤢

We are supposed to be getting one where I live and this news bums me out. Dunkin’ is absolute trash and I never eat at subway.

Why do all my favorite chicken places die out?

It wasn’t good to begin with.

Damn fuck this shit, all my favorite things go down the drain

It was great while it lasted!

Bummer. I quite like Dave’s for consistency (i travel for work) – at least we have a few good local non-chain options and I travel to Nashville frequently.

Don’t eat it no more

Subway, Dunkin, and Drake. All pretty shitty things. RIP Dave’s.

The same company that owns subway and Dunkin Donuts?
Yeah, they’re heading toward imminent collapse.

I’ll just check with the workers if they say anything has changed

Subway and Dunkin have both gone to shit so look out world! Here comes the new shitty Dave’s hot chicken.

Was really hoping they would say Drake was a minor investor.

Anything a private equity touches ends up with a slow death. I really enjoyed this the one time I had it and this is sad

RIP

Damn. That’s pretty much a guarantee it will get worse

RIP Daves

It’s already just better than McDonald’s and burger king. Nothing of value will be lost.

Everything gets worse. Damn

This sucks BUT maybe this’ll mean more locations and fun collabs like stupid hot chicken at Subway or Dunkin?

Tbh the quality was already hit or miss at some locations. This is what happens when you grow too big and become just another franchise.

Bought by someone who owns 2 of the worst chains IMO
Fucking subway is overpriced over processed trash
Dunkin’ is just trash
RIP Dave’s

Private equity firms are buying up everything and sucking the soul out of it.

And so the enshittification begins

Dave’s was never good to begin with. Yeah I said it.
Modboi
Man that sucks because I haven’t been to one yet because there aren’t any near me. Oh well

That’s a shame. Thankfully I have a few other chains and local places nearby so I won’t miss it too much.

Well, I’ll have to get it one last time before they absolutely ruin it.

Private equity firms ruin everything they touch.

This won’t be popular but Dave’s is an overrated novelty in my opinion.
bwanabass
Haha like touting Dunkin’ and Subway are positives. They are total shit! “Shareholder value” coming in 3… 2… 1…
