There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

I'd agree usually but the two mentioned seem perpetually commercially evergreen tho.
Whats stopping PH from joining them. Respectfully, kindly fight me on that point if you'll indulge for a moment...
chuckycheese is still around? both those had video games right so is their main thing pizza or they offer video games and the pizza is secondary. is dave and busterz even have pizza? im confused.
D&B is a bar with an arcade and ok food. I think they have pizza, been a long time since I've been there.
They really aren't comparable to Pizza Hut, which billed itself as a family place.
Those are kids places (Well, Chuckies is, D&B is an arcade with food, not just pizza), already exist, have a reputation.
Trying to pivot a long-standing, contracting business to compete in a saturated market doesn't seem like a smart model.
Lots of PH locations have closed - so many of their buildings are now something else.
I think it's just a market segment that really has been waning for decades. I haven't been to a Pizza Hut since high school, and I'm not admitting how long ago that was.
I'd also argue that D&B isn't doing as well as it did in the 90's when they were expanding and always busy.
