Almost all the food places not owned by movietowne either buss or sucking salt
The Chinese restaurant in front upstairs was paying over $200k rent , surprised they took so long to buss

I visited Radio Shack every time I went to the cinema, even if I did not buy anything. just to see the gadgets or price a few things. Why they want another coffee shop is beyond me.

Well... using the name Detour is definitely a reason why they should evict them.

AFAIK they lost the license to use the "radioshack" name, hence the detour tech name.

TBH if the prices were cheaper...i'd might consider making a purchase...
the real question is...how is the 75% off working..?? are they raising the original prices of the item by 75% ...then saying 75% off sale....just to get the items gone....

a few well known stores have been caught doing this... :lol:

RadioShack is in chapter 11 so they prob let go the franchise hence name switch

I believe Porsche dealership is family

On another note, I wonder what will happen to the employees? Will they be assigned to other branches?

Starbucks is relatively expensive abroad in the land of cheap food. Would be interesting to see the pricing locally ..... I think rituals can easily weather the storm

No matter what the prices turn out to be... the wanna be elite/white trinis will pay it just to say that they can.
It will be the new facebook WhatsApp profile pics of trinis.
Trinis will be there more than the Syrian/"Whites" - just like the "VIP" section in movietowne
