Hello, hello happy people. It's almost 5 p.m. on Friday and that minutes we're minutes away from celebrating the weekend.
But before you head out, here's your round-up of what happened this week in the business world. It deals a lot with gas and oil.
Oil prices rose.
People are cashing in their grocery points to save money.
The Pres. says the rebates checks will boost economy (I'll believe it when I see it.)
They ran some drills to make sure people knew what to do in case of an emergency at Peach Bottom. For results see tomorrow's paper. (I hope they did well, I can imagine a nuclear meltdown would not be fun.)
And in kind of random news, the owners of Arby's bought Wendy's. I'm not sure what that means for the fast food industry, I just thought it was interesting.
As long as the Arby's people don't get rid of the Frosty we should be OK. The fast food industry, like all other industries, is about profit, so cost cutting will definately be part of this deal for the failing Wendy's.
Even though cost cutting will probably play a part in the deal, I can't imagine them getting rid of the Frosty. That's so many people's favorite menu item at Wendy's.
