This type of headline will become commonplace in California over the next 3-36 months: "XYZ Business closes operations due to rising costs" Rubios shuttered ~1/3 of its California locations. Many other businesses/restaurants are making similar plans (e.g. 'strategic planning'). The true cost of increased input costs? Marginally profitable stores will begin operating in the red/break-even, and operators cannot pass-on the costs to customers. Makes zero sense to operate a location which generates (at worst case scenario) below a ~10% return on invested capital ('ROIC'). Even if a store is making some money, it may still make sense to liquidate the operation.
