Cheesecake Factory

Can anyone tell me if they know what company will be getting the Cheesecake Factory? The company that had them to be shopped stopped operating in April. I am going to miss going there monthly. Thanks

We are not allowed to give the MSC name once the client name has already been mentioned and vice versa. It is against the forum rules and most, if not all, of the ICAs we signed.
I found it. It's a really obscure company... But they pay by PayPAl, no more gift cards. I just self-assigned a Grand Lux, AND a Cheesecake Factory for April...

Is it on the list here? I'm slowly working my way through it.
Is there any hints so I can find the MSC myself? Thanks
@zFaithMS-please stop asking for names and hints. We have all done our due diligence to find assignments by signing up with alot of companies. I understand you are new and hope you utilize the official list of MSC on this site. I found it very useful.
He/She is not new.

No, I am not new. I am registered with over 80 different Mystery Shop Companies and the last two times I posted to the Forum I forgot the rules. I promise it will not happen again.

I think it was meant "new" to the forum and the rules. Not "new" to mystery shopping...
Don't know why everybody is @#$%& at zFaith. It's never been against the rules to ask for hints, which is what was asked. Just about everyone here has asked for hints here and there. Heck, I'LL ask for a hint. I would love to find which MSC does these now.

It must be super obscure. I'm registered with 130+ at the moment and there are six of these babies in my shopping radius and I haven't spotted one in the wild yet.
They are like the yeti.
People must love Cheesecake Factory so much they don't want to share their hard earned information....:-D

That is correct...
These CCF shops must get eaten up quickly! I have never seen one on any of the boards...smiling smiley
Did anyone try calling Cheesecake Factory corporate to ask them directly? If you did, did you have any luck?
Aren't they still shopped by the MS company that "pays" via a gift card to the establishment?

No, that company is no longer in business as of 3/31/2015.
Haven't found the new company yet. Maybe (what's left of) GrassRoots will say who has the contract now???
lisapacelli, sorry but we're not allowed to say who shops whom here, it violates forum rules and the agreements we sign with the companies we work for.

One person has found them, which means they're out there for others to find. Sign up with more companies and you'll find them too.

Time to build a bigger bridge.
Since it's only one person who has found them, I'm beginning to wonder if this person has a sick sense of humor. I have been signing up with companies that have nothing on my side of the country looking for them.

Can another long time member also state they found them?
I am in the Scanman camp. I am signed up with dozens and dozens and dozens of MSCs, and I have seen nothing.

Me three! I checked about 85 sites and nothing.
I don't doubt this company exists, another member (@KateH) reports having found them as well, and she dropped a couple of hints in the thread about the old MSC going bust.

I'm digging based on the hints she dropped (executive profile of cheesecake factory management), but am coming up dry so far.

I must be the only shopper who finds the restaurant mediocre at best and totally underwhelming.
I looked up the CEO, and that didn't help me hint-wise. I looked at the Board of Directors, and nothing jumped out at me either. One of them is associated with a private equity firn, Cappello Global, LLC, but I didn't immediately see a connection to any MSC. I am only aware of one MSC that has large private equity company ties, and that is the Big Gorilla MSC, which I seem to remember was another Mitt Romney success story (or at least a Bain Capital success story).

I went with the thread that one guy was affiliated with RARE International, which used to own Longhorn Steakhouse. I ultimately hit a dead end, but there's more about that in this thread. Good luck to anyone who can hunt them down!
