Okay, so I just called Waffle House's corporate office and spoke to Gina in the Real Estate office. I inquired as to our lack of a WH here in the B/CS area, and explained very politely that it is too far to drive to Conroe when I need a fix.
She states that there are no plans to build any additional Waffle House restaurants in TEXAS for at least 2 years, and they are not currently adding any franchise owners. I explained that it was very important that our Fightin' Texas Aggie Football players had somewhere to eat waffles and hashbrowns after beatin' the hell out of their opponents - she laughed, but I don't think she thought I was serious.
I asked what we could as the Aggie community do to change WH's stance on the subject, and she said nothing. I asked her would they be willing to reconsider if 100,000 Aggies called, emailed, rioted etc. She said that would probably delay any expansion because it would probably just p--- the decision makers off.
Eventually, she gave me the name of her boss and said that if I would like to have a more in-depth conversation about it, to drop him an email.
I figured I would share it with you, since it sounds like we're not getting a Waffle House anyways.
