If they are changing out any equipment it can go up fast. The low end for anything commercial in stainless steel is $10K and it goes up from there. I would think that $120K is very low end for a remodel. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Used to pay fifteen or so for an ounce of Mexican; some dispensaries in Oregon sell ounces of non- "top shelf" outdoor grown cannabis for not much more than that. Given the price is still good and the quality is orders of magnitude better, I call it a "win-win." |

That is what a good remodel cost. Tradesmen do not work for free. Restaurant equipment can be pricey. A full blown QSR remodel will go a quarter mil. That is why franchisees balk when places like Burger King want to remodel all their stores. The President is a fink. |

If you don't mind me asking are you native to Brazil or did you move there? |

I'm a native citizen of the USA and been here a couple of years. I have a resident card but haven't decided to become a dual citizen. |

Especially, since the mayor of NYC outlawed obesity discrimination. Why not outlaw all sin discrimination? Do non-obese citizens pay for obese persons' hospital bills? |

Careful what you wish for (even if being sarcastic) some countries have tried this, and locally some cities through the U.S. have done this. It is rarely effective and just encourages people to exit city limits (sometimes as simple as crossing a street) to buy lunch. And, like all such taxes it hurts the poor the most. |

Either way is fine with me. Just make it an even playing field. |

Obesity is none of the government's business or problem. The President is a fink. |
