Nice to see more progress in the Wake Forest area. It's just too bad Olive Garden sucks! A restaurant I think would do well in Wake Forest is a Char-grill! Any investors?

Olive Garden is owned by Darden Restaurants, Inc., (NYSE: DRI) headquartered in Orlando, Fla., is the world’s largest company-owned and operated restaurant company with over $7 billion in annual sales and through subsidiaries, the company employs approximately 180,000 employees. Through subsidiaries, the Company owns and operates more than 1,700 restaurants including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze and Seasons 52.

Seems they are the investors and whatever your opinion of Olive garden they are very successful and have outperformed the Dow Jones Index by 50% over the past 5 years with net Income of more than $370m per year

So what? Am I'm supposed to like it because a lot of other people like it or because it's a successful restaurant?

Anyone see the construction lately? The place looks huge.

I love the OG and can't wait for it to open.
