I stopped by Chick-fil-A in Chicago and a few things were clear. There was no parking lot, no drive-thru lane, no line of cars around the building. It was two floors in the heart of Chicago, tucked in a structure that was decades old.
Chick-fil-A wanted downtown Chicago, so they adapted to downtown Chicago. And this should not be an exception because every day I see another abandoned fast-food place custom-built for whatever corporate style was trendy at the time.
And those drive-thru lanes? They're empty. And those parking lots? Full of weeds. We're left to pick up the pieces.
So maybe it's time that these big chains adapted to us and our communities.
So what do you think? Let me know at jamesabrown.net.
On that note, I'm James A. Brown. And as always, be well.
