There are always people who decide to “strike off on their own” when they are laid off, but they tend to build businesses around a consulting model. When people start opening capital intensive businesses, however, it shows a bit more faith in the economy, which is an optimistic sign.

I mention this because I was at Prime Outlets At Morrisville earlier this afternoon. If you have been a Triangle shopper for any length of time, you know that Prime Outlets is a very pale shadow of Southpoint Mall or Triangle Town Center, or honestly, a well stocked Target. It’s vacancy rate hovers around 50%, and a good number of the tenants that are there aren’t traditional mall tenants [there is a church, for example]. Imagine my surprise when I saw that there were two new restaurants in the food court. Restaurants can be a huge initial investment for the kitchen, so seeing two startups, especially in a space not known for being the hot spot, is a cause for hope.

Best of luck to both Taco Loco and Panini Warehouse in their new location!
