It's funny; they did the exact same thing at Mall of America maybe a year ago. I guess your report confirms it was a strategy, rather than a really absurd coincidence.
They could be following the (possibly urban legend) Burger King model. Supposedly, McDonald's would spend a bunch of time and money doing market research, surveys, and such before placing a new restaurant. Burger King would wait for McDonald's to spend the time and money, and then open a new restaurant across the street. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
