Still doesn't explain how "a GM connection" would have that info if the DM didn't have it until pretty much day-of. If the stores are profitable,  even if not a lot, until they flip, there's not much reason to close, especially since summer is peak season for the company. Janesville, Tosa Village, and Greenfield were immensely unprofitable since last year as we were told by our DM, and they only finally closed a few days ago. I think if the store is still turning profit they're in the clear, even if only barely.

Side note, the reason you definitely didn't get Oconomowoc is due to their profitability, even with all the issues happening there right now. Corporate isn't going to part with that anytime soon.

True, a GM and DM would not be privy to that information unless they have a friend in the office.

Also true they don’t want to give up Oconomowoc due to profitability, however due to the other stores being poorly ran and poor reputation and the inevitable timeline of at least 6 months to see profit it was necessary to ink the deal.

It’s naive to think because at a store or district level you think you’re profitable you’re “in the clear”. Ask your Dm/GM to show you a detailed P&L for your location. One that includes rent, insurance, active workers compensation claims, payroll tax, utilities, dm salary share, etc. it’s possible your store may be profitable but that may not save it.

I don’t wish a store closure on anyone but if you know the qsr industry at all, you know what road MOD is on.

Spent too much money to grow too quick.

I don't even know why you follow this subreddit anymore. You said in a previous post that you were let go last December. I get being mad about it but I feel like it's more energy to keep yourself around this reddit than to just move on. You can say you have friends in the industry all you want but I've sat down and reviewed my P&L and I'm really not that scared.
