January 8, 2025
Denver-based Birdcall,
which has 12 corporate-owned stores,
is now franchising the concept
with an initial focus on the Western and Southwestern states.
The brand, which also has locations in Arizona and Texas,
is planning to open up to seven restaurants by year's end
and over 200 by the end of 2028,
said Birdcall CEO Mark Lohmann.
"Birdcall isn't just a restaurant; it's a lifestyle,"
he said in a company press release.
"The fast casual dining market is growing rapidly,
and Birdcall is leading the charge
with a model that's built to scale.
Whether it's our signature dishes,
unforgettable designed spaces,
or innovative ordering systems, Birdcall is a brand
that resonates with today's customers.
There's great opportunity for growth and,
we're looking forward to working with franchisees
who are well connected in their community,
passionate about food,
and are excited to bring our efficient,
craveable and exciting brand to their market."
Founded in 2016,
Birdcall opened its first location
in Denver's Five Points neighborhood,
and uses a proprietary ordering platform, Poncho,
for a seamless online ordering system.
This translates to streamlined operations,
reduced overhead costs and a customer experience
that keeps guests returning, Lohmann said.
"We've created a thriving business model
with diverse revenue streams,
including takeout,
catering and innovative partnerships that boost profitability,"
said Birdcall CFO Ryan O'Haro.
"Backed by a proven track record,
loyal customers,
and a fresh approach to fast-casual dining,
we rise above the competition.
Birdcall isn't just another franchise concept;
it's the future of food franchising."
While the expansion will focus on establishing free-standing locations,
Birdcall is open to endcaps with or without drive-thrus
and non-traditional locations in colleges,
professional buildings, sports arenas,
event centers and amusement parks.
With AUVs of nearly $2.9 million
and a franchise fee of $50,000,
Birdcall is providing franchise partners
an opportunity to get in on the ground floor
of an emerging brand
in the ever-growing chicken franchise industry,
according to the release.
The investment to open a 2,300-square-foot restaurant
with seating for 150 people
ranges from $642,000 to $2,300,000.

RICO and Criminal Usury Revived:
Lessons from DarkPulse v. EMA and VNUE v. LG Capital
https://www.thebasilelawfirm.com/post/rico-and-criminal-usury-revived-lessons-from-darkpulse-v-ema-and-vnue-v-lg-capital
________________________________________________________
RICO’s Rebirth in the Usury Context
DarkPulse and VNUE
together mark a pivotal evolution in federal jurisprudence.
No longer confined to its criminal or fraud-based roots,
RICO has found new life in regulating unlawful lending practices.
For plaintiffs,
it offers a powerful lever against exploitative financiers.
For lenders and funders,
it serves as a cautionary tale:
structure your instruments carefully,
or risk civil RICO exposure
in one of the nation’s most influential districts.
These decisions empower borrowers
to challenge questionable financing structures
and open the door to substantial civil remedies
potentially transforming how small-cap funding deals
are negotiated and enforced.
As New York federal courts continue to chart this course,
litigants would be wise to treat civil RICO
not as a bluff
but as a viable, judicially validated cause of action
in modern financial disputes.
If you or your company
have been affected by a toxic lending arrangement
and want to explore possible remedies
under New York law or the RICO Act,

SEC’s Dismissals of Dealer Suits Open Door to More ‘Toxic’ Loans
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/secs-dismissals-of-dealer-suits-open-door-to-more-toxic-loans
Investors
will lose key protections
without dealer registration enforcement from the SEC,
though issuers will still have the option
to pursue claims through private litigation,
according to securities lawyers and a compliance consultant.
“These so-called toxic lending firms
are operating essentially without any oversight now,
and I think we’re going to see an increase
in the number of companies and individuals
providing these types of toxic financings,”
said Brenda Hamilton,
a securities lawyer and founder of Hamilton & Associates Law Group PA.
“They were the type of financings
that have been subject to SEC litigation and enforcement cases
that the Commission has prevailed on often
at the summary judgment stage,”
Hamilton said.
“This is strictly an administrative policy decision
not to pursue these securities violators,”
said Mark Basile, a senior attorney at Basile Law Firm PC
who has represented issuers
suing companies for dealer registration violations.
“This policy decision doesn’t change
the existing case law the courts look at
to see if they were engaging in unregistered dealer activity,
and it doesn’t stop the public company issuers
from pursuing civil claims.”

You are right ph, the chain Bakers Square in my area went out just after covid. Could never recover.
The other day an Olive Garden near me went out of business, and there has been a slew of others.
