“We are confident that we will get something off the ground in America soon" 23/8/16
We must be due an update announcement 'soon' then? Or not...
The new Christchurch stores - Hereford Street especially - are hiring significantly younger staff (16 -17 year old demographic - as opposed to the previous 20+) I presume they offer greater roster flexibility? It does align to the hiring practices of the lower end food chains though, and alters the 'feel' . Traffic flow through this store is very low. Spitfire and Ferrymead both seem to be slow too. Hereford should improve, it looks like an excellent positioning for an inner city store. The other two, I'm not so sure. I guess that's primarily the franchisee's problem though.
