    Investing in White Castle is the first step to bankruptcy. There are only a total of 5 or 6 WC in the cities. Not very popular among middle class forks. The reasons are; food looks disgusting, bad services, and terrible environment. WC is not very well known due to lack of advertisement.

      White Castle in my opinion is some of the worst food that I have had the chance of eating. Sorry...but I think it would end up like IHOP, busy at first then very slow after the "newness" of it wears off. Sonic would be tasty though!!

        Bosten Market too... that shit is good!

        I suppose I am biased to White Castle becuase Harold is my hero, but I do like sliders. Kevin and I got lost in the twin cities one time and ended up at a white castle.

        Chipotle is awesome too, qdoba just isnt the same...

          By the way, jim if you get a chance you gotta check sonics out, i heard there is one in sioux falls?

          I heard that Rapid City is getting one also. They say the old Hardee's are switching to Sonics. Not exactly sure, thats just the word I have heard 🙂

            the whole 24 hours thing isn't that great. when mcdonalds on 8th street was open 24/7 the only days that they would make a profit was fri and sat with to little people to get everything done. the only reason they stay open on fri-sat is customer service/convience. and breaking even was $480 sales from 11pm-5am.

            if you would be serious on it start and slowly expand the hours to see if it is worth the extra hours

                    I personally think White castle is gross. I think you are better off with any other fast food restaurant than White castle. I dun know if you have noddles and Co. up there but it's pretty good. oh and Jim...just because asian people made a movie about it doesn't mean it's good! 🙂

                              please elaborate? we had chipotle in maple grove after autovations, and i had qdoba no more then 3 days later...its the same thing, they put the same toppings on the burritos etc.

                              Qdoba is bomb to.

                                I dont know what the differences are, i think it has to do with the content of the stuff put in the burrito or something;

                                qdoba just isnt as gratifying after you get done...

                                      so sonic seems to be the prevailing idea. i'll have to do some research and figure out what the initial investment figures are, franchising is effing expensive for a large chain. we aren't a rich family but maybe with some other investors it could be doable. werd.

                                        Okay... I've had Chipolte in St. Cloud; and.. "Loved it.." Had Qdoba's once; it seems the same, but for some reason I remembered liking Qdoba's so much better.. I had White Castle before, it was okay.. But the meat seemed a little weird IMO; like one person said; not something you can eat everyday... But not bad on price; cheap low on price, and the burgers or sliders or w/e I had, they were like w/ no topping.. Guess a lot of ppl don't like it.. Never had Sonics; but I bet that would be a good one to try.. Just don't choose to double up on something else already in town.. It's nice to have options..

                                          Sonic requires a 20-year contract.
                                          Processing fee is a straight up $30,000
                                          You need to invest atleast $710,000 to a max of $2.3 million.

                                          To open 1 store, your net worth have to equal to that store, Sonic does not offer financial aid.

                                          Minnesota is a not a market area for Sonic, for there it is impossible for you to franchise.
