Went to Arbys drive through last night

A bit like the matress stores in the States mate. Something was off about it.

$22 for a Reuben and chicken sandwich meal
Whoa
Wow
That’s like a date night at Applebees

Still not as expensive as Hardees/Carls Jr. Bought a kids meal and 2 burgers came out to $40. Arby's has that 2 for $5. And about 2 years ago there was a 10 for 10 deal or something like that. Dirt cheap. I've always wanted to try the mountain burger but it's around $15, at that price I rather get some pork katsu toji

Jibbby-
Surprised to see the real food, tequila and garlic fan hopping in the fast food landscape.

Congrats on the move and it looks like a win/win investment.

Hardee's is the Carlos Jr. of the eastern U.S.

I have rarely tried fast food joints... never had an Arby's.
Tried MacDonald's, Burger King..both were terrible.
Carlos Jr... Not a bad burger.
New Wendy's menu is supposed to be alright.
In n Out--- Good cheeseburger.
That's all that I have.

Whataburger better than all those you listed

[JIBBBY]

In and Out is the only burger fast food I'll eat today..

Double Double with grilled onions is hard to beat! Reasonably low on the calorie chart list compared to every other burger fast food joint.

The Arby's voice over dude is a f*king god.
He always sounds like he's going to have a beef orgasm.

"There's no such thing as a brown sugar pig"



I almost lost my shit at 6:15 of this clip.

^ Yes he sounds very excited about the meats, I almost expect a load to be shot on the burger in the end of each of these commercials.

^ Hardee's/Carl's Jr still has a mean burger and menu. They advertise a lot and are doing just fine as a franchise today. That's why I invested in one in Ohio. I would have preferred a taco bell or McDonald's but the cap rate for those two were much lower.

Taco Bells and McDonald's still are a much stronger investment long term and more secure (iron clad) but with that you get a smaller return on your investment when buying the property and land lease for one of those. A 15 year secure lease for a McDonald's was typically around a 4% cap rate nationwide on average where my Hardee's was at a 5.75% cap rate.

On a 2 million dollar investment that's a bit of money I would have been giving up every month for just a little more security and peace of mind with buying one of those. I shopped Nationwide and I just wasn't on board with that.

This is spot on. I think you made a sound investment. Hardee’s/Carls may have lower volumes than Taco Bell and McDonalds but they do really well in their geography.

I’m heavily invested in McDonald’s on a few fronts and McDonald’s has been and will continue to be a terrific investment. It does offer smaller returns and at 42 I’m ok with that for now. Stock has been great to me as well.
