I do wonder if FG could maintain profits if they cheapened their food cost and drove more volume to their stores? They'll never be pure fast food (and that's a good thing/distinction), but I do wonder if they couldn't just get more volume to make up for lower prices (not lower quality ingredients, I mean, but just lower prices)...
If they're maintaining a profit, why should they lower their prices? Other similar chains like Shake Shack also charge very high prices for a fast casual meal and they're also doing just fine.

What are your taxes?
~$6.29 is the price for a hot dog, in my area.
In other words, even a grilled cheese, little fries and a regular soda WILL put you over the $12.75 reimbursement limit in my area...... In one of my locations nearby, even the veggie sandwich gets you over the reimbursement limit.
Very infrequently shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado these days.
