Beta Test A Restaurant?
The local Wendy's that was planned and under construction for a while is finally opening. I'd heard the target date was this past Monday, but slippage was to be expected. I drove past the site Monday evening and the entrance was blocked off.
Tonight the entrance wasn't blocked and there were a (very) few cars in the parking lot and no obvious activity inside. Curious, I stopped in anyway expecting the doors to be locked. They weren't, so I went in. It was clear that things were very close, but not quite going yet. Eventually I called to a fellow who had his back to me and asked him when the place would be open for real. He replied that the first real day of business would be Thursday.
But that's not all. There will be a couple practice runs tomorrow, one around noon and one in the evening. Wendy's will not be truly open during these times. But one of the results of my stopping in tonight is that I now have a ticket to get in to this restricted run. So supper tomorrow night will be at Wendy's.
