You mean a franchise?

Weren't you moving to Australia?

Yep, I read that too. I, and a eye doctor from the Abingdon area talked to them about it. He did say to have $1million in assets, to even consider it.

and NSSB... Yes, I did go to Australia. UVA-Wise did not get my grades out in time. I arrived in Australia, and the university there did not have me in their system. I did not find out until I got off the plane there. With student visa requirements, I had to be enrolled in classes to live there. I'm trying to save up to go back.
Because UVAWIse did not want to admit their mistake and said "must've been the holiday mail", and it cost me a nice chunk of change there and back.
So, I'm back here for now.

That is confirmed, without a doubt. Straight from the owners mouth.

Yep, Pal Barger told me the same thing when he came over for Sunday dinner.

I was wondering when Pal sold out myself. Being the president is not the same as being the owner.

What do you think Pal's is? I don't believe gettin fast food/drive thru workers is gonna be that big a problem.

No, but working at Pal's requires something I don't think many in Wise Co. can offer. At least not if you consider the service already being provided at such fine establishments as Sonic.

Warm bodies is one thing, getting intelligent, capable workers who are WILLING to do the job that Pals will require...there's the rub...

exactly if u think its easy to do why not come try! no offense if it was so easy to do then fast food places would never be hiring they would always be fully staffed whereas they are neither. that is what it wrong with this area too many fast food places to eat at not enuff of other stuff to do.
