A recent Wall Street Journal article examines the problems faced by Cold Stone Creamery,the ice-cream chain that was one of the hottest expanding conceptsa few years back.The article says that 100 stores closed last yearand that "one list on a Cold Stone Web site recently had 303 storesfor sale -- more than 20% of the company's 1,384 as of December."Among the problems that the chain is apparently facingare a high-priced, $4 scoop in a challenging economy, overexpansion and tough margins that have put the squeeze on franchiseowners.We seem to remember similar problems taking place with otherhigher-end ice cream concepts like Ben & Jerry's. Cold Stonedid expand awfully fast, and at least in certain parts of thecountry, we would think that demand for ice cream from Novemberthrough well into March is pretty low.But is Cold Stone and itssegment of food retailing alone? Starbucks has cutback its domestic expansion plans. Can you think of anyother food-related chains from which we will hear similar news?
