Well, They're here!
They opened about 2 weeks ago at 90th St & Shea Blvd in Scottsdale.
There's a second one planned in the Tempe Marketplace, at McClintock & Rio Salado, near ASU in a few months..
Went to the one in Scottsdale today, around 3 PM, thinking it would be a slow time to go to see what all the hype is about.
WHAT A ZOO!!!!!" />" />" />
There must have been 500-600 people there! Lined up out the door. They even brought in tented walkways to shade people and keep them out of the rain. They had set up extra 8' folding tables & chairs in every open spot they could find. Extra staff all over the place from other stores back East. There were at least 50 people on the line crankin' out the food!
Took me 25 minutes to get from the parking lot to a place where someone took my order on the back of a bag and handed it to me. Another 10 minutes to get close to the register to pay. I looked down the line and there were at least 75-100 people standing there waiting for their orders.
At that point I BAILED!
I knew if I plunked my money down, then I was due to spend at least another 45 minutes to an hour waiting for my food.
I'll come back in a year or 2 when things settle down!
