Honestly what do you get a trillionaire for his birthday?

Grocery prob doing $50 M year in sales every year since whomever developed this shopping center. Now they become the biggest stumbling block in the equation when the current owner goes to sell the property. Out of control…

Elon Musk Congratulations, sir, on joining the $1 trillion club! Aaron Harris and I know your birthday is coming up in a few weeks. If we’re being honest, it’s hard to shop for a trillionaire. So instead, we want to give you an experience. We’d love to open hundreds of Tesla Diners for you, spread across America. Let’s bring a little piece of you to every part of this great country. These would be incredible hubs where people come to hang out, grab a great burger and a coffee, and charge their vehicles. Aaron and I have spent every waking minute of our adult lives opening restaurants — it’s a true passion of ours and yes we are a little sick in the head. We believe we could lean into this project fully and deliver something truly amazing for you.

I want to become a franchisee and own a restaurant. It’s where the easy money is made. This was in the middle of lunch yesterday in the Seattle MSA. They had run out of buns.

I have seen dozen of video’s of a packed dinning room today. INO must have crushed it today. Long Merica 🇺🇸 Long Burgers Long Simple Menus

Have you ever been thanked by an UBER driver for tipping? I have completed 1,013 trips so far most of which were in the U.S. and I have never been thanked once for a tip.

Just doing some Sunday am homework for our summer trip Drive thru UDON sounds crazy, but my kind of crazy

My family is eating at a food park. No GF trucks so I’m crushing a Diet Coke instead. Meanwhile I can’t stop thinking about: - where do they dump grey water - hand washing for food prep? - how frequently do they swap oil in the fryers? - where does other food prep happen?

At flag football for 9 yr olds today the other coach chirped at the ref, “Have you even read the rule book” The 13 yr old ref that appeared to have rolled out of bed 3.5 min before our game started said, “no” Other coach lost it At what age is it acceptable to yell at a ref?

Elon Imagine this but with Tesla Diners across America. The combo of Isaac, Aaron Harris (opened 1,200 Popeyes, 800 Dutch Bros) and me is a winning combo. Let’s get a time booked asap to dial this in and get 100 Diners opened in the next 5 years.

Petaluma, CA I assume that the city required CFA to put signs up like this? Candidly this looks like an opportunity. I think CFA should lean in here. Create a merch store and sell stuff with this text instead of the logo. Create some instagram-able experiences in the store.
