Is anyone surprised by this? None of the semi-recently shut down locations had been updated in at least a decade, but probably two or three.

Not that I need my donut shops to be all stylish and modern, but not looking like there might be a family of rats living in the walls is kind of a big plus.

I sometimes drive around and wonder if the owners of these places simply want to go out of business or what? Invest in a makeover that makes your restaurant or store inviting enough to pull some people in, not make them shy away.
