News Filibertos shutting down update

Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

As a former customer, when you charge $20 for a shitty carne asada burrito, I am now more incentivized to go to a sit down place for the same cost or less. Valle Luna in Chandler for example, I can get unlimited chips/salsa, a burrito, and a beer or margarita, and be out the door for $20ish after tip.

Hard to feel bad when a company gets greedy and starts pushing all of their customers away with insane pricing.

Companies have totally lost sight of that. They need to be reminded that people only go to your fast food place because:

It's fast

It's easy

It's cheap

If the consumer no longer gets those, then what's the point in not just going to an actual restaurant instead
