Supposedly, Cane's could not get experienced execs to move to the Baton Rouge area. Since the Dallas area is headquarters to quite a few of the big-chain restaurants there is a much, much, much larger pool of people available for the positions Cane's wants to hire.
Also, the DFW area is a mecca for the restaurant business with the highest number of them per capital in the world. A lot of test marketing goes on around here.
That's kind of the point of what i typed. THIS is really why corporate headquarters relocate.
backdrop, culture, blah. If employers were honest about why they bolt from Louisiana the second they get the wheels of the operation off the ground? It's possible that someone, at some point, might sit up and listen and MAYBE even come up with - and publicize - some reasons experienced execs and nationwide talent would want to move here. More importantly, why existing talent would want to stay.
Not likely, but more possible than blowing a bunch of smoke about backdrop and culture.
Interesting about Dallas being a restaurant-business mecca. i knew it, but i've never been able to figure that out, either. it has got to be the consistently stronger economy there.
