    Now we're talking full centerfold double truck. (For those of you who remember the old lingo)

    "Full centerfold double truck" is redundant.

    I've had it twice out here in Texas - meh. Decent chicken fingers, but its not exactly a food item that's hard to fuck up - high floor, low ceiling. I guess people really like the sauce a lot, but the other thing that really made it different to me was that nice slice of garlic Texas toast. I'd rather have the Popeye's or Wendy's spicy chicken.

    Yea, we already have some here. They’re fast and fine and forgettable.

    I prefer Raising Cane’s to Zaxby’s or PDQ. Once every couple of months I’m good.

    1) Sheetz is great. It's not QuikTrip, but it's great.
    2) Openings and closing leaders for not only digital page view traffic, but retention of your loyal audience. Posting links in this thread highlighting these posts only highlights news outlets that are doing it right.

    I didn't realize this topic would have legs.

    I don’t see how it helps with retention. If I see a story about Wawa opening down the street, I read it and then bounce.
