UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Why is So Much Fast Food Coming to DC?
In this week's installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader asks a question, unrelated to real estate, but one that we have wondered about ourselves in recent weeks: Why are so many fast food places now choosing to open up shop in DC?
Shake Shack arrives early next year.
Forgive me, as this question is not about real estate in DC, but it is a question that I believe is worth asking given the rash of news regarding openings of fast food restaurants in the DC area in recent months.
Why the sudden onslaught?
Obvously the news that has everyone buzzing is the 2011 arrival of Shake Shack, but IHOP, Chick-Fil-A, Fatburger, and Bojangles have all announced that they are coming to the area in the past few months.
Perhaps this is more of an observation than a question that will have an answer, but I am curious if anyone has insight into why this might be.
