White Castle: $600M sales, flat, only $12M profit, 25-year tenured staff
Sam profiles 93-year-old, 100% family-owned White Castle: roughly $600M in sales that have flatlined, just $12M in profit, and a workforce where the average tenure is 25 years - a sign of stagnation in a brand he sees as ripe for a private-equity turnaround.

“Family owned, 100% family owned, $600 million in sales in the last couple years, flatlined, $12 million in profit. Big company, no growth though, shitty margins. And the average manager, the CEO said that not one person who reports to him has been there for less than 25 years. Wow. And the average manager and like throughout the company is 25 years, which is not good if your sales are flat. And it's the 38th most popular fast food chain in America.”
