Anybody notice Subway closing down branches .. Valpark and West Mall Branch closed .

What happening ?



that does happen when you feel customers is fools and feel you as a business will outsmart them. since restaurants open back up is 2021 their bread have gone thinner and shorter basically a smaller cheaper bread, the cheese is now a cheaper non rennet free cheese (non vegetarian) and they cant seem to keep a full complement of sandwich artist. most time since it is the cashier and one other staff member doing everything. i buy one time after resturants reopen in chase village outlet and see bread and stuff shrink and that was it for me, never again. same with kfc/ royal castle , they want to save money on ketchup and pepper and some you get pepper and no mustard or mustard and no pepper together with the small pieces and increased prices so i stop buying. used to buy doubles from sauce in aranguez cause the man who handing the money using sanitizer between touching money and handing the doubles but early january they gone $6 and making the doubles smaller so i part ways.

Also they removed some of their better bread offerings, some cookies as well as some sandwich options like roast beef.

Subway was pretty densely concentrated at a point as well. At one point in time from where I live I could drive to one of seven subways in 10 mins max - Tunapuna, UWI, Piarco, Trinity Mall, Curepe EMR, Curepe SMR and Valpark.

i used to eat subway fairly often
now plenty stuff out of stock

subway branches are fairly easy to open infrastructure wise

the parent company (prestige/kfc) did declare a loss last couple years, who knows maybe they might close a kfc branch

one company which has a large number of branches is sherwin williams

Not due to Covid lockdown? Pharmacies are essential businesses which never had to close.

Business on a whole slow down for real people

Some issues with pharmacies are that drug cost gone up.

Government taking long to pay cdap bills

Rent going up

Businesses around the pharmacy closed so plenty walk in traffic not around anymore

Cost of supplements and vitamins gone up because of shipping .

People not even buying supplements and vitamins and even their everyday necessary medicine because they can't afford it.

plenty pharmacies opening all over the place

it’s not cheap to stock drugs and you don’t make money selling panadol
lot of them operating as convenience stores to make ends meet

Nah, those motions to close have been in progress since before that incident, so not a case of karma.

Plus, that was madness to have been charging full rent on them for this whole period.

Petition filed to wind up Inglefield, Ogilvy & Mather Caribbean
by Joel Julien
8 hours ago
Mon Apr 11 2022

Award-winning advertising agency Inglefield, Ogilvy & Mather Caribbean Ltd has closed its doors and the legal process to legally wind up the company has begun.

Also known as Ogilvy Caribbean, the company is a subsidiary of Ogilvy Worldwide.

The company is said to have closed its doors on March 31.

A week before that, on March 25, a petition was presented to the High Court for the winding up of the company by Anthony Inglefield.

Inglefield is a director of the company and previously held the post of managing director from 2003 to 2021.

The company’s chief executive officer Sarah Inglefield was appointed in August 2020.

An advertisement of petition which was published in yesterday’s newspaper said the winding up of the company is scheduled to be heard virtually before the court on June 9.

“And any creditor or contributory of the said company desirous to support or oppose the making of an order on the said petition may appear at the time of hearing in person or by his attorney-at-law for that purpose; and a copy of the petition will be furnished to any creditor or contributory of the said company requiring the same,” a legal notice stated.

The winding up is being handled by the law chambers of Dentons Delaney with instructing attorney Daniela Taklalsingh and advocate attorney Shalini Campbell.

Ogilvy Caribbean’s website was inaccessible yesterday.

Anybody know why Wendy's closed down in T&T ?


The T&T Wendy's burger is nothing compared to the US Wendy's.

Even at Curacao International Airport you can get a real best Wendy's burger.

Wendy's had liquidity issues, in the end their closure was inevitable. They were owing 6 months rent in some cases and left equipment on sites which landlords had to use to offset some back rent
