Aylin Lewis ambitious plans for European expansion for Potbelly

Arturo Armando

    Potbelly is one of many cheap sandwich chains that usually occupy ugly suburban strip malls and help finance these ugly eyesores on the America landscape. Instead of beautiful buildings on main arteries of traffic these village corrupt suburban officials want cheap building switch cheap rents for use of their corporate contributors. The rise of corporate sandwich  shops such as Potbelly and Jimmy Johns could only be established through highly visible and key locations which usually require much car traffic over foot traffic. Most of your high foot traffic spots have more expensive rents and if there is one thing that these over-priced sandwich shops have learned from the likes of McDonalds is that real estate is much more important than actual sandwich sales and food quality.

   With this in mind CEO Aylwin Lewis has plans to get the atrocious Potbelly chain in Europe and without a doubt they want to get in on the peripheries of great European cities as the will never be able afford downtown Paris or London hip locations. So transforming the outer Burroughs into American sprawl will be key for corn capitalist international conglomerate wannabes such as Potbelly. Alyson hopes to have more shops outside of North America than have inside North America to take advantage of tax laws they have or perhaps he knows how risky it would be to have his chain in all these Ferguson type shit towns over America.

We allow these companies to get away and pay little while they pay their executives two hundred times more than the average store worker. This stupid company started in Chicago and has global aspirations with many locations already in the Middle East that has plenty of cheap land to create more car dependent buildings for places like Potbelly. Europe is home to fine cuisine free of the American genetic manipulation and blandness of America foods where eating is an art and taste buds picky. The last thing they want is a cheap American sandwich shop and clearly a place like potbelly can only thrive in places where the people care little about developing one and this is why it will ultimately fail in European Countries outside of the old Warsaw Pact. Basically the part of Europe that has taste and the people don't all have pot bellies..
