Sears Pool Management Consultants’ Post

For years, you’ve dined at the same restaurant—let’s call it Old Reliable. The food’s good, the staff knows your order, and the familiarity is comforting. But one day, curiosity gets the best of you, and you decide to try The New Spot down the street. To your surprise, the food is incredible, the ambiance is fresh, and suddenly, you’re wondering why you didn’t visit sooner. It’s not that Old Reliable was bad—it was simply familiar. We often stick to what we know because it’s easy and predictable. But sometimes, this comfort can keep us from discovering something better. In business, this happens all the time. Whether it’s sticking to the same supplier, product, or process, we resist change because it feels risky. But trying something new—whether it's a service or a different approach—can reveal opportunities we didn’t even realize we were missing. Sticking to what works is fine, but don’t let familiarity keep you from exploring new possibilities. You might find that change brings even better results—and wish you had made the switch sooner.

As someone who was part of the original 1664 Blanc launch team in the early 2000s I had to share this phenomenal piece of brand activation. Kudos to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company 👏👏👏 🚀 My No 1 Golden Rule of Marketing: Invest at the point of purchase for maximum ROI. You get a huge sampling opportunity to recruit new consumers and drive sales but most importantly you create brand advocates who keep selling for you long after the activation ends. 💡💰 #SuperbWork #BrandActivation #MarketingStrategy Remember, it’s not just about the visibility of the product—it’s about the lasting impact you create 🙌

Is your local red lobster on the latest closing list? At least 99 locations of the stalwart seafood chain are being auctioned off, raising questions about its long-term viability. The closures cover restaurants throughout Texas, including two in the Dallas area: 10290 E. Technology Blvd. and 9069 Vantage Point Dr. Other closures in Texas include three in the greater Houston area (North Houston, Pasadena, and Lake Jackson,), as well as one in San Antonio. Neal Sherman, founder and CEO of TAGeX Brands, announced on LinkedIn that he is leading the closure of over 50 Red Lobster locations, with their equipment to be auctioned off. A dedicated webpage for these liquidations lists closure locations across the U.S., including Denver, Indianapolis, Rochester, Sacramento, San Antonio, and San Diego. According to Restaurant Business Magazine, 99 locations are set to close. These closures represent approximately 15% of Red Lobster’s 700 locations, though it remains the largest seafood restaurant chain in the U.S. The company has been struggling with significant debt, unfavorable lease terms, executive turnover, and strategic missteps, including a costly all-you-can-eat-shrimp promotion last fall. Last month, CNBC reported that Red Lobster was seeking a buyer to avoid bankruptcy, but no buyer has emerged. 👉 Click link for details: https://lnkd.in/gW-fpW7f #NNN #retail #realestate #investment #investing #commercialrealestate #property #passiveincome #cre #investor #realestateinvesting #commercialproperty #netlease #retailrealestate #redlobster

We just closed our 4th restaurant property this Spring (primarily value add). I'll get some hate for this, but I actually appreciate our current real estate environment. Don't get me wrong... it's exponentially harder than 2021. That being said... In 2021, anyone could buy a 5.5% cap, turnaround and sell it for a 4.5% cap without doing anything. There were too many principals and brokers making money without actually creating value for their tenants. I also benefited from this. However, our industry is based on servicing tenant relationships. It's not just about interest rates... There's a lot of disruption right now with store closures from Rite Aid, 99 Cents Only, Family Dollar, banks and QSR's. This means there's a lot of opportunity. The winners in 2024 are the individuals who can navigate the difficult big box backfill, navigating the build-to-suit in a difficult municipality, or enhancing beat up strip centers.
