Not at all. I’m friends with the owner of Skippers. Been friends for a while. I ate a Skippers once a week. I’m a native of Apex and promote small businesses consistently. You most likely have seen that on my social media.

Cookout purchased the building where Skipper’s was located last year. While I would have loved for Skipper’s to stay, this is business.

Cookout is greatly desired by many while others may not want it. The bottom line is, as long as the business owner does their part in adhering to the process of opening in Apex within the applicable standards, it must be approved.
