According to a news report from PressTelegram.com, “Before the dinnertime rush, Larry Lewis was chewing over business strategy at the Fat Jimmy’s pizzeria he manages. The store had absorbed sharply rising cheese prices as long as possible.”
The article said, “It was time to hike the price on pizzas and pass along some of the expense that had been eating into profits the past few months.”
“We don’t really have much choice,” said Lewis in the article, who competes in a pizza-heavy city that’s the corporate home of large chains and features a large selection of pizza restaurants.
