How restaurants can tailor real estate strategies to an uncertain market

How do you tailor your real estate strategies to an uncertain market? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Stephen Cohen, an attorney who specializes in real estate for restaurants and retailers. A lot of restaurants want to expand right now and are doing everything they can to do so. But the cost of expansion is higher than ever. Construction costs are up. Interest rates are high. And lease rates are also high because of intense competition. Cohen discusses these issues and talks about how companies can balance the need to grow with the need to ensure that they don’t wreck their unit economics. We talk about what companies can do to remain competitive for good sites. Cohen also talks about the biggest mistakes restaurants make with their real estate strategies.
