Dear WaffleMan,

I'm writing to seek your help in correcting a grave injustice. There is not a Waffle House in College Station, Texas, and this, sir, is a tragedy.

I can't begin to tell you the profits that would be poured on your company if a franchise were to be opened on the "Northgate" side of campus, where syrup would be poured 24 hours a day to eager patrons, both those starting out their day with a healthy appetite for higher learning, as well as those ending a long night and left with only Whataburger or bad TexMex to sustain them. This would be a destination for families and study groups, athletes and geeks, for reliving glory days with former classmates or kindling new romances over bottomless cups of coffee. In short, it would be an institution, as timeless and classic as Texas A&M University, itself.

I hope that you will see this done without further incentive. However, I am willing to add a stick to the obvious carrots by vowing to withhold my business until a plan for expansion into the fertile bosom of the Brazos Valley are put in place. As an act of sacrifice, I will begin denying myself my customary trips to DFW Waffle House locations, numbering between 8 and 11 times a week, until progress is made.

I hope that this appeal, and others like it, will stir your heart into action. God bless you for the work that you do.

Mr. Cole,

I'm writing to add another eager customer to your growing list of TAMU Aggies who would like to have a Waffle House. Even if you ignore the SEC talk and other babble, it would be a really good move to place your business within walking distance of campus. I have no doubt you will have a never ending stream of customers. Not just from students and Northgate crawlers, but from the residents of College Station who are looking for something different.

TAMU hosts a variety of students, family, staff, and faculty. Our incoming freshman population alone this year is 50,000. That is not including the regular 100, 000 + residents and other students and their families. Game days nearly triple our weekend population. We are also situated between 3 of the top 10 biggest cities in the U.S. Traveller’s would love to know that there is somewhere they can eat 24 hours a day and they are familiar with the restaurant brand. That, plus TAMU hospitality, could create a really great atmosphere for the growth of your business.

The local agriculture, major businesses, hospitals, and growth of our city should be taken into consideration as you are reading all the emails in support of this venture. Thank you for taking the time to read this email and others like it.

Sincerely,

A Class of ‘07 Ag and Lifelong Resident
