We have two take away shops in Tearabaginhalf, another about to open. The local Council said it would bring extra business to the town. The $ take of the two shops will now be divided into three. So I guess it makes sense that the remaining two will have to increase prices to maintain a fair margin and employ extra staff to handle the extra business that the Council say will flood in as a result of their approval.
A Km down the road at Kickatinalong they only have Maccas. Poor buggas. They'll go broke soon because their Council don't have the free enterprise foresight of ours.
