Jergel's owner, and restaurant consultant, Ron Sofranko says he has the answer.

A few months back, Patch interviewed Ron Sofranko, a North Hills area restaurant consultant, and he talked about chain restaurants. He said it all comes down to economics. "With development costs these days, the little guy can't afford it," he said. "An acre in Cranberry is $800,000 to a million. A restaurant needs up to two acres, then you have to build the building and the equipment. Not too many independents can afford a $3 to $4-million-dollar investment. But the chains sure can." Sofranko, who is one of the owners of Jergel…

Instead of the joy about the Red Lobster (thankfully defunct) head to the Jackson Fish Company. Take a tall boy in paper bag and get an oyster Po Boy. Go to Mirchi in Excel Plaza and tell the server you want whatever the chef … more ›
