Schlotsky's Deli Debacle

We had another Schlotsky's Deli close in Chattanooga this week.
Or maybe it's open.
You never can tell.

What is it with this chain? Out of 4 one-time Chattanooga Schlotsky's, we now only have one open for business. But that could change. These restaurants just open and reopen, it seems, whenever they feel like it. Is there something so flawed about the business plan that it can't last long-term? From their website, they seem to be doing just fine...

Can anyone clue me in on the ups and downs of the local branches?

Hello: We have the same trouble in Mi Had 3 of them around here in Mid Mi, 2 closed for sure I do not know about the third. We always liked it there, never could get any real info. why. One of them at Birch Run , the big outlet Mall has a new tenant in it Victor Mereks Deli, not as good. A big Hospital here had one in it too, and they replaced it with an inferior version.

Hi Walter,
You guys are scaring me. I just bought some schlotsky's stock, mostly because it looks like Panera Bread (a big winner last year)! What do you think? Maybe all the changes with the Deli's have to do with their creation of a new image,'Fast-Casual' sort of mcDonald's service with more interesting foods. Well, good luck to us all!
