$LOCO don't let this fly under the radar. The parent company of Chicago, DC, and TX convenience chain Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen and Marked just closed all their stores and apparently filed for bankruptcy. Guess who was CEO until Feb 13, 2024 - Liz Williams, who left to go to El Polo Loco. Prior to that Liz was CEO of Foxtrot, before merging with Doms, and becoming CEO of the combined entity (which went bankrupt less than six months after the business combination). This is not looking great for $LOCO. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/it-was-nice-serving-you-foxtrot-doms-locations-abruptly-close-in-chicago/3418123/

$LOCO if any top execs do read this…bring back the house salsa! It’s way way better than salsa fresca.

User Image Corey111 Posted - 1 month ago

$LOCO I don’t know if any top loco board members read these post. But one thing loco needs to fix asap before they keep scaring costumers away is stop allowing the franchises to lock up the bathrooms and don’t even allow costumers to wash their hands is bs. Stuff like this will just make people stop eating at their locations. Loco was one of my top locations to grab food wash my hands and use the restroom. The minute they said paying costumers only and I have to buy first? Like wtf iIwould go through the drive throw and have to walk back to my car for a receipt? Keep allowing them run the business and you will fail like others before you. There is a reason other fast food places are more kicked back with the restrooms learn from them.

$LOCO not to excited here last 3 earnings barely moving the needle .1 thing that will keep me here for a bit longer is new CEO all give it few 1/4 But do want to reduce position much better areas for me to dump cash in.. Luxx to all...

User Image Corey111 Posted - 1 month ago

$LOCO back to 52 weak low. Prices are just to high and sales are going to keep falling for the rest of the year. Plus if you eat their food the quality has dropped off the cliff with crappy meat on their bowls.
