Did ACL lose their major restaurant chain?

Does anyone know if ACL lost their major restaurant chain client? There have been relatively few shops posted in the past few months.

They still have one restaurant in the chain that they're shopping. My guess is that the parent company just chose not to shop the rest of them this quarter?

I don't think so. I still get emails for the same restaurant I always get emails about smiling smiley

I am seeing the same old, same old one chain. There is still no job fee. I am tired of their food, so I hit Delete each time I see them.
I'm not sure whick major chain you mean, but I'm still seeing the family take out shops, the burrittos, the pizzas, the numerical grill, and I saw the prime rib joint last month, but I don't think they've been posted for this month yet.
I am not seeing the farm carry-out shops. The last month I saw those was November. Nothing for December and January.

All kinds of farm carry out shops here.

Ever posted with then.

Eh??
I just did one of their Tropical restaurants.

Shopping Central Jersey Shoreline. WHAT? I'm an adult?! When did this happen?! How do I make it stop?!
kethry24,
Some of their clients are only shopped quarterly. That might account for what you are seeing.

In my area they have many large client groups of restaurants, so I have no idea of what is their "major" client in your area.

Here, they are adding clients at a pretty good pace.

I think I know who you are talking about. I haven't seen them for the past two months, but I'm guessing that's more a factor of what time of year it is. This is afterall one of the slower shopping months of the year....
Perhaps all of your shopper rating when down and you can no longer see them. Or they increased the shopper rating needed to see them.

I expanded my search radius and I can see the carry-out shops in another city.
I doubt I can't see them in my area because of my shopper rating. I have been a shopper with them since 2001. I can see the much higher end restaurants and self-assign if desired. Seems funny I could self-assign a 500 calorie dinner with a shot glass dessert but I can't see any of the farm shops.
I like the carry out shops because they are "no-brainers" for me, and I don't have to find a baby-sitter because of a "no kids allowed" rule.
The farm must be taking a break in this area for the time being. I like them. I hope they come back to my area soon.
In my area, the casual stuff I see involves burritos, pizza, and pizza served by a thousand waiters that don't wear name tags but get all their names. If I wanted to drive further I could do different stuff...
If you are talking about the high end chain that is based in Texas, last year they were just shopping one of the brands in the chain in my area. I asked this year and they still are shopping that chain but the chain has limited shops to just a few of their brands and none of those names are located on my coast.
I just checked several job boards again today and see that one of their clients is being shopped by them and another MSC in several areas. As I am filling up shops in 6 states for my Feb route, I saw those shops in quite a few areas. Some were all ACL, others were split.
