Re: Bonanza and Pizza Pipeline

I know that Bonanza sold about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. Buying a business gives
a person a large debt. Ed Shipley (former owner) had the restaurant for many
years and most likely had his debt paid way down or gone entirely. Debt will
kill any business. I know nothing about the pizza place however. Is that the
one on main street?
