Dirt Dog (adj, v, n): A true Deal Junkie. Won't stop until they have found the opportunity. Loves Beef Jerky. Enjoys long, long road trips. 3.5 months in to me introducing the world to the Dirt Dogs of Forza Commercial we have received our 1st ground lease from McDonald's. Yes, you read that correctly. We just received a DRAFT lease from McDonald's for a property that was sourced through the Dirt Dog social media program. The Dirt Dogs and I started telling the word we needed high quality drive thru sites. We did this through X & LI posts. March & Apr brough us several hundred sites. Most of them had more cows than people on the aerials from the flyers / packages. They were not that great. What was interesting though is we started getting the attention of various national retailers. Then we had the following groups reach out to us to meet at ICSC in May. Dutch Bros Coffee McDonald's Chipotle Mexican Grill Dave's Hot Chicken Burger King Oil Changers Heartland Dental Qdoba Restaurant Corporation 5 Guys Burgers & Fries The market is starved for new sites right now. I think this is prima fascia evidence of that. In anticipation of meeting with these retailers the Dirt Dogs and I again hit social media with posts on X & LI and told the world we were meeting with them. May / June brought us well over 500 sites. But this round it was much better. High quality sites. Excess property. On any given day we are researching 15-20 sites. It is a lot and it is very involved. The hardest thing is matching what is an available good property with which retailer it best suits the needs for. We have been asked many times if this program is working. TBH we still don't know. All we do know is that today we are u/c on a property to ground lease to McDonald's and we just received the DRAFT lease. LFG! Long the dirt dogs Dirt Dogs [at] Forza Commercial [dot] com Alex DeBry

In a bold move to strengthen its claim to be the UK’s best value pet superstore, Jollyes is reducing its prices on top-selling items. And in a bid to drive home the message, it has parked vehicles advertising the savings outside 60 stores of its main competitor Pets at Home. It has also launched a national radio campaign to raise awareness of Jollyes’ value and the pet expertise of its colleagues.
