That's all modernized and spiffed up and everything now, right? And didn't it kind of sprawl over and absorb Greece Town Mall too? Last time I was there, like 12 years ago, those places were still sort of rundown and full of great wacky '70s "installations" and stuff. One of them had this like shag-carpeted relaxation pit.

Poor Rochester. I guess it's hard with Kodak evaporating and all.
But you've still got Sbarro, I guess.

when i worked at the mall in college, sbarro was a quick easy meal that didn't cost too much, although i wouldn't eat there unless i was trapped at work for 7 or 8 hours at least.

One thing about Sbarro's pizza is that it seems like their crust is usually a bit too oily. It's really a shame to be reduced to eating at Sbarro's in NYC, when there are often much better pizza options available.

No one will miss Sbarro. But expecting it to be "Italian" is like expecting German food at a hot dog stand. Stick with the pizza, fake marinara is the worst thing on earth!

SBARRO. NOT PIZZA PROBLEM. CHANE STOREFRODS IN MALLS, IS DOUBLE WHAMY. TRAFFIC DOWN. CONSUBERS PUT AWAY WALITS. CAN'T BOOST REVANUE. CAN'T ADD BREKFESET OR LATE MENU. NOT LIKE OTHER CHANE. COMPEDIDORS LIKE DOMANO AND PIZZUT NO DEBT. STRONG CASH FLOW. INTENISY PRESSURE ON SBARRO AS KEY DET PAYMENTS COME DUE IN 2009.

Blair Chancey, editor of fast-food trade journal QSR magazine, told me that Sbarro's target demographic is "young, hungry males," and this might be so. But it also seems as though Sbarro courts the indifferent eater—tourists, children, people who just want a slice and a place to sit while they talk about the amazing pants they saw on sale at The Limited.
like we suspected ... sbarro targeted hungry bros and Michael Scott.
