I can go the rest of my life without eating another krispy kreme donut. In fact, after seeing this, I probably will.
I do my best to avoid all garbage corporate food places. If you have a bakery or local pizza shop you best go to them. They are almost always better anyways.
Not to say just never buy anything from places like Panera or McDonalds. But we would be helping our community much more by supporting the mom and pop food places.
I've seen just about ever bakery fold around me. And it isn't surprising. Local pizza still does well around me so there is that. Bommarito Bakery survived to thank jesus for that.
Bakeries are folding everywhere, I wonder if it's because of corporate competition? Or if its because their hours aren't when the consumers are out. Where I'm from, there's only two family owned bakeries within 40 minutes of me, and they are surviving only because they are open within a certain time frame. Bakery that closes at 9:30 AM? Guaranteed failure.
This I can agree with. A lot of the local places near me did not adapt with the times.
But at the same time I know for a fact half the meat shops and bakeries closed because they can't hire garbage young kids for 12$ an hour. Let alone 15$. It is a fucked situation. My main butcher is also one of my pool customers. This is a 3rd generation meat shop. They will be done after Dean retires. No young adult wants to be a butcher in our area(gotta get the educational college) and he simply can't pay people enough to keep them interested in the first place.
I think this is a purely economical problem. And it was only exasperated because big corporations basically own everything.
Want to open up a chicken place? LMAOOOO good luck you will have to buy your chicken at a higher price. Because between Popeyes, KFC, and McDonalds you ain't getting any well sourced cheap chicken. My cousin is a major head chef. He has worked at some of the most fine restaurants in the Detroit area. What he has told me in regards to acquiring good meat is absolutely ridiculous.
Lucky for me, I raise livestock. And if I need to buy meat (pork, chicken and beef) I know several folks who raise commercial cattle.
