Monthly town halls are a great way to keep employees updated on the business. This month’s town hall falls on opening day at Fenway for the Red Sox so we will be raffling off a Red Sox blanket and will have the following treats: peanuts 🥜, cracker jacks, and soft pretzels 🥨. Additionally I like to put little treat bags together for my direct reports with clever puns 🤓 #treatsformypeeps #monthlytownhall #businessupdates

It's been on a downward trajectory for awhile but when even the acclaimed In 'n Out burger chain decides it's too dangerous to keep open their store there - well it really is an all-time low for Oakland, California. It seems the business is putting staff safety in front of profits....their car park has become a crime hotspot. Given this is the chain's first ever closure since it started in 1948 that's saying something. The closure marks a further decline for Oakland - a city that has, already this year, seen downtown Subway outlet and a Raising Cane restaurant shutter their doors - largely due to crime. They follow on from Starbucks, Denny's and Black Bear Diner and a host of retailers and are the 'tells' of an area - if not a city in a civic death spiral. Across 'the Bay' - the internationally famous San Francisco is having its own problems - with city's once prestigious San Francisco Centre (until recently owned by Westfield before they handed he keys back in June 2023), being renamed Emporium Centre San Francisco. But a slew of key brand tenants have gone - Lego, JHollister, Adidas and J Crew among them. They have now reportedly been joined by L’Occitane and Sephora. I term it 'brand flight'! But in the case of these two cities I call it 'brand mass evacuation'! Whatever is going on it's urban decay and it's a civic tragedy and I do wonder if there is a calling for some sort of International Civic Rescue Squad - much in the same way that Saudi Arabia has pulled in what I terms as a 'dream team' of designer, developers, digital eagles and those who can deliver a project. This would be a 'Civic Rescue' A-team who could turnaround the fortunes of troubled locations around the world. Who would be on such a team? I have a few ideas! https://lnkd.in/dahZANTf #InnoutBurger #Oakland #crime #urbandecay #urbangrain #California #civicdecay #brandflight #turnaround #SanFrancisco #Westfield #EmporiumCentreSanFrancisco #Civicrescue #retail #retailing #leisure

A Black-led grocery store is breaking barriers and building a future of food equity in Detroit! According to reports, the Detroit People’s Food Co-Op will be opening it’s doors this year as a part of the Detroit Food Commons (DFC) project — a 31,000-square-foot two-story building that will also be a hub for community engagement. The second floor of the building will house commercial kitchens, a venue for performances and film screenings, and a health-conscious café. With a commitment to sourcing from Detroit-based and Black-owned businesses, the co-op aims to tackle the alarming 69% food insecurity rate in Detroit households, according to the Detroit Food Policy Council’s 2021 report. The co-op will also be looking to improve the local economy with job creation. Read more ➡️ Link in bio 🔗 #AFROTECH

In-N-Out made the tough call to close its iconic Oakland location🍟 A historic first for the company. Here's what's sad about it. My absolute favorite burger joint closed its Oakland location due to crime. Despite their best efforts, issues like car break-ins, theft, and armed robberies persist. In-N-Out, a California staple since 1948, has never faced a closure like this before. March 24th is the closure day. Oakland's crime spike is real, with robberies up 38% and burglaries up 23% from 2022 to 2023. Reality paints a vivid picture, highlighting the urgency of putting safety first. Let's hope for positive change and a safer future. 💙 Over to you...What do you think of this closure? How can businesses contribute to fostering safer environments in communities facing rising crime rates? Are we going to see this in other countries? #fastfood #qsr #inandoutburger #oakland #safetyfirst #foodandbeverage #foodandbeverageindustry #food #business #entrepreneurship #management
After 76 Long Years, In-N-Out Burger Just Made a Heartbreaking Announcement for the Very First Time

Challenges persist in implementing Senate Bill 946 and Senate Bill 972, which hold promise for formalizing street vending businesses, particularly in Los Angeles. Many cities are still not in compliance and barriers hinder formalization, especially for food vendors. In collaboration with the Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign (LASVC), Inclusive Action, is actively engaged in community-based efforts to create pathways for street vendors' formalization. They provide training, policy advocacy at the county level, and outreach initiatives, including formalization clinics. Achievements include successful advocacy for a Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation program and ongoing efforts to reduce sidewalk vending permit costs. Despite progress, the journey to integrate street vendors into a safe and supportive formal economy continues.

𝗛͟𝗼͟𝘄͟ ͟𝗗͟𝗘͟𝗜͟ ͟𝗞͟𝗶͟𝗹͟𝗹͟𝗲͟𝗱͟ ͟𝗮͟ ͟𝟰͟𝟬͟-͟𝗬͟𝗲͟𝗮͟𝗿͟-͟𝗢͟𝗹͟𝗱͟ ͟𝗕͟𝘂͟𝗿͟𝗴͟𝗲͟𝗿͟ ͟𝗝͟𝗼͟𝗶͟��͟𝘁͟ Here’s a story that’s juicier than a double bacon cheeseburger: The Great American Hamburger & Pie Co., a San Francisco staple for 40 freakin' years, just shut its doors for good. Why? Because they got sued by a wheelchair user for not having a ramp. 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁—𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘀. The kicker? The owners claimed they were too strapped for cash to install the ramp. This isn't just about a restaurant; it's a spicy meatball of a debate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) versus real-world business survival. Sure, accessibility is a right—nobody’s arguing that everyone deserves a seat at the table (or at least the ability to get to the table). But when pushing for these rights sends a beloved burger joint into the abyss, you've got to wonder: 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗘𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Let’s chew on this: Should a small-time burger joint be obliterated because they can’t afford a ramp? It's one thing to champion accessibility, but it’s another to enforce it without providing a safety net for businesses that genuinely can’t foot the bill. Where's the balance between making a place accessible and keeping it afloat? 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 This joint wasn’t just a burger spot; it was a local legend. Now, it’s a legend that’s dead and gone. This is what happens when regulations, as well-meaning as they are, fail to consider the cultural and community impact. Losing a piece of neighborhood history bites, and it bites hard. 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 We need smarter solutions, not just tougher rules. How about some creative thinking? Maybe subsidies, grants, or community-driven support could help bridge the gap between compliance and closure. It’s about getting everyone to the table—figuratively and literally—without sending business owners into bankruptcy. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? But here’s a thought: When did we start believing that lawsuits are the solution to every barrier we encounter? Sure, fighting for rights is essential, and legal action is sometimes necessary. But when did it become the first resort? Could we possibly hit pause on the lawsuit trigger and explore more collaborative solutions first? Or are we witnessing a wave of entitlement, where individuals exploit DEI initiatives to punish small businesses, blinded by corporate America's neverending fetish with DEI? Let's not just fight to make a point; let's talk to make a change.Let’s be mindful about helping businesses adapt, not just punishing them when they can’t keep up. #WhatsWrongWithDEI #InclusiveOrExclusive
Beloved San Francisco burger joint will close after 40 years after wheelchair user sued over obstacles that stopped him entering, with owners saying they're too poor to build a ramp

Founded a SaaS business Bootstrapped it all the way Sold it for an 8-figure exit 🚀 Nothing to sell you. Just sharing shit I’ve learned 🙌
I used to love seeing this… people queueing out of the door of the local #butchers… in the rain. EXCEPT…. …this isn’t a historical picture!!! This is from this morning at my butchers… #EVSlacks in Wadworth near Doncaster. The quality of their meat is exceptional… all from their own fields. But where they REALLY excel is on social media. Matt Slack’s videos and his big chopper have become quite well known, because of how prolific they are on TikTok and Instagram. While other butchers are closing, using excuses like… - The supermarkets are putting us out of business - People won’t pay a premium for good meat anymore - Customers won’t travel to a butchers - Everyone wants convenience and to buy everything in one place … #Slackys are thriving… providing a wide range of premium products, which they charge a healthy price for and which they promote wonderfully well. They have people travelling 3 hours from London to buy their products and to hold Matt’s chopper. It’s never the market circumstances that control your results… but how you choose to respond to them. Are you making excuses… or making a way?

A creative policy intervention by Governor Tina Kotek to reduce the income of street campers in downtown Portland, as described by Nigel Jaquiss in Willamette Week. Under the fentanyl emergency declaration, Kotek is suspending the requirement that two downtown stores accept bottle redemption, while allowing for "green bag" redemptions at Safeway as the only downtown option. This action is intended to reduce the income-earning potential of fentanyl addicts in downtown Portland. The green-bag exception creates a mechanism for downtown residents to continue recycling, while at the same time discouraging the behavior of addicts to use recycling to support their habit. A more direct way to achieve the same outcome would be to declare downtown Portland as a no-camping zone, with shelters implementing a sobriety requirement. Such a policy might test the Martin v. Boise court case, although there is hope the Supreme Court will remedy this problem. Since the state legislature is moving towards ending Oregon's drug decriminalization experiment, establishing a no-camping zone would quickly create a major public benefit of a cleaner downtown and create a further incentive for homeless addicts to seek drug treatment. The reason to focus on downtown Portland is that its importance to the region's economy and well-being is much greater. That can be measured by Portland's Central City having 70% of the employment in the city. According to ECOnorthwest economist Michael Wilkerson, Ph.D, the number rises to 80% if you include nearby OHSU. Or you can measure it by land prices in downtown Portland, which are several orders of magnitude more valuable than land in Portland's neighborhoods. If downtown Portland is our living room, we shouldn't encourage people pitch a tent in the middle of the room. To attract new employment, create new housing, and increase the number of visitors to Portland's Central City, we need to expand drug and alcohol treatment, expand mental healthcare, and end street-camping in downtown.
