Yep, there's a sign saying it's now Coffee Republic. Franchise agreement with Saxby's expired last week. Apparently the new owners are Sean and Kalea Flynn, and they're keeping all the staff in place. The end of an era! I don't know that I did ever step inside Sugars.

Trading one so-so chain for another. Booeys was at least a Georgetown original.
I recall M&M Enterprises—ahem, The Corp—being upset that a Saxbys opening so close to campus would challenge their UG monopoly. Guess things have worked out ok.

While a chain brand, that particular Saxby's franchise was owned & operated by my friend and classmate, Jim Hilson '08, so the relationship was more than just purely corporate.
