Something was definitely amiss when Boston Market made its IPO, or initial public stock offering, and it took years for analysts to untangle the web of questionable accounting that briefly made Boston Market one of the early success stories of the pre-internet stock market age.
Seems a little too good to be true for a chicken restaurant, doesn't it? A article written by the New York Post seems to suggest that the stock's movement had little to do with any of the actual merits of the business, and was instead manipulated by insider trading and artificial stock price manipulation.
There's another theory to explain the stock's astronomical success though — according to The Washington Post , the company's on-paper gains may have had more to do with some unusual accounting methods. Boston Market would report stock market gains as company profit, loan the money to franchisees remember all those crazy-fast expansions? The result was that Boston Market looked insanely profitable, even as individual franchisees were suffering.
For all of the quick gains investors saw after the IPO, they were wiped out shortly thereafter when the company filed for bankruptcy less than five years later.
While many customers may agree that the food at Boston Market is pretty darn good, with some even expressing slavish devotion to the chain's macaroni and cheese , it's not exactly cutting edge. Boston Market's whole business was built on the concept of "home cooking," the kinds of meals that you might have on a Sunday at your weird grandmother's house.
And while this type of cooking might have a certain homey comfort, it's not typically what modern-day consumers are looking for when choosing a restaurant. What do modern-day diners want? Multi-cultural offerings, including Korean, Filipino, and Persian flavors. Healthy, plant-based options, including meatless burgers and Yucca fries.
Creative, over-the-top dipping sauces and glazes. According to QSR , these are the trends that will drive quick service consumer spending in With so many intensely flavorful, imaginative offerings exploding across the national dining landscape, it makes sense that "roast chicken and potatoes" hardly inspires the same excitement and social media frenzy as, say, an order of kimchi fries , topped with a four-cheese blend, spicy mayonnaise, Sriracha, caramelized kimchi, green and white onions, cilantro, and roasted sesame seeds.
Executives at Boston Market seem to have gotten the memo. According to then-CEO George Michel in a story by The Washington Post , customers were looking for "more fire in the food," which would explain the chain's addition of a sweet Thai chili garlic sauce and a honey habanero sauce to their menu.
At its inception, the marketing team at Boston Market was quick to settle on a dining concept for the chain: "Home meal replacement," which the company predicted would become the new norm by which Americans would eat the majority of their dinnertime meals by the turn of the millennium. But a major misstep in the mids would contribute to the decline of Boston Market: The introduction of sandwiches at lunchtime, which marked the chain's entry into the hyper-competitive fast food space.
According to a spokesperson for Boston Market, in a conversation with The Washington Post , the company was "going down the wrong track. As a result, Boston Market's lunch business actually grew, but their dinner business fell. The lunch business at Boston Market hasn't gone away, and the company continues to focus on quick, grab-and-go items like sandwiches and pre-assembled meals to boost its midday numbers, but there's no doubt that the restaurant's core concept suffered as a result.
When you're considering a romantic night out, or even trying to imagine a place where you can bring the family without the kids getting vinyl booth-burn on the backs of their thighs, Boston Market probably doesn't spring immediately to mind. Even if you love the food, the atmosphere at Boston Market isn't exactly crackling with appetite-stimulating energy. Sure, most of the construction feels pretty high end , and even the oldest locations don't necessarily feel run down, but there's something about that long single line and the buffet style ordering that makes the whole experience feel like dining at an off-brand budget casino.
The problem is, customers nowadays are looking for that careful balance between convenience and experience; in other words, they want to be able to quickly place an order and get back to what they were doing, but sometimes they also want to lounge around in a pleasant environment. Boston Market seems to be having trouble striking this careful balance.
Okay, so you can't totally blame Boston Market for this one; they're just another company that radically underestimated the raw purchasing power of this newfangled "Internet" thing, even as the stuffed shirts in the marketing department were trying to get their heads around what "a global network of networks" could possibly mean.
Enjoy 2 pieces of super juicy, all-dark rotisserie chicken with a small side of your choice, fresh-baked cornbread, and a kids drink. Fractions can be delicious. As a matter of fact, you can enjoy a quarter of all-white rotisserie chicken served with a small side, fresh-baked cornbread, and a kids drink.
A meal so good even mom will be jealous. This mini meatloaf is made with savory seasonings, onions, tomato puree, and toasted breadcrumbs, then topped with a zesty, hickory ketchup. Enjoy it with a side and drink of your choice, plus fresh-baked cornbread. Is it us, or are things getting steamy in here? Our fresh broccoli, carrots, and zucchini are tossed in the perfect amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper then steamed to perfection.
What could make rich, yellow corn even better? If it was grown especially for us, obviously. We relish the most delicious things in life. Like tart, fresh cranberries sweetened to perfection with sugar and orange then mixed with finely chopped walnuts. Not a slice.
Not a piece. But your own mini-loaf. Pico-oh-my-oh — the best of the southwest is all in one bowl: chipotle ranch dressing on top of corn relish, pico de gallo, rotisserie chicken, red onion, and romaine and leaf lettuce. With bacon and avocado to boot. Get to know the classics. Classic food that is. With crispy romaine, an Italian blend of cheese, croutons, and creamy, classic Caesar dressing, this side dish is downright scholarly.
Sometimes the best things in life are simple. Like our fresh broccoli florets steamed to perfection tossed with just enough salt and pepper. Chocolate-lovers, you just found your homeland. Watch out for jealous rabbits when you dig into this rich, delicious carrot cake. Topped with cream cheese frosting and filled with moist, flavorful layers you better hurry up and eat it before someone else steals a bite. Perfection cannot be rushed. Our turkey is slow-roasted in its own juices, tender as all get out, and seasoned with our signature marinade.
The best thing since sliced meatloaf and perfect for those who love a whole lotta flavor. Made with savory seasonings, onions, tomato puree, and toasted breadcrumbs, this entire meatloaf is topped in our signature zesty hickory ketchup.
Yes you can have extra cornbread. Dark meat, light meat, wings, thighs, and everything in between.
