Chain Links: Houston’s, We Have a Problem

by krista on August 18, 2009

When is a chain not a chain? When it changes its name to skirt the 15 locations or more calorie-posting rule. Nice try, Houston's. [Crain's NY]

There's a TGI Friday's/Tim Hortons combo coming to Union Square. I'm actually more excited about the Nordstrom Rack (please don't pronounce Nordstrom with an S at the end). [NewYorkology]

Wendy's and Arby's will also be joined at the hip, though you probably won't have the opportunity to order a Frosty and Jamocha shake under the same roof unless you're in Dubai or Qatar. [QSR Magazine]
