Eagle Boys

Yeah.

Eagle Boys.

Eagle Boys.

Eagle Boys.

Eagle Boys won the Great Restaurant Wars.

Fucking hell.

Yeah, man.

I went and worked in supermarkets till I was 21, bought a pizza shop, then I ended up buying five or six pizza shops, started a chain, picked that up, relocated that to Perth.

People, some people might remember Eagle Boys.

Yeah.

Yeah.

From WA back in the day.

Yes.

Back when Eagle Boys was good.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

Uh, one of my early Bonafide podcasts, I spoke to a bloke who I actually know personally, and he's an interesting character, Tom Potter, who s- started Eagle Boys, and, and the, the, uh, the frustration he had when he became very, very large and sold it, and then when he sold it, they changed the, the, the quality, they changed the service, and then drive-throughs, drive-through fast foods took over, and then the internet and, and ordering online came in, and he got out at the right time, but he's an interesting character, too.

When you looked at structuring a franchise, you must have, I'm sure you must have looked at people like Ray Kroc and the, a- a- and the structure that he set up McDonald's with.

Did you look at that?

So it's kind of...

It, it's, it's, it's designed to protect them in so many different ways.

Because I'm, I'm remembering back to my chat with Tom Potter, Eagle Boys, and Domino's tr- trying to achieve world domi-domination, if you'll pardon the pun, and introducing $5 pizzas.

$5 pizzas, but they were pick-up only.

Yeah, that was, uh, that got a bit of, uh, got a bit of use back in those days, 40 years ago.

Um, Eagle Boys pizza voucher maybe.

[laughs] Yes.

Might've expired by now [laughs].

What else? Cheesecake shop.

Eagle Boys pizza.

Red Rooster.

To be fair, if you're McDonald's, maybe KFC gets across the line.

But yeah, McDonald's, Eagle Boys.

You have such good food in this area anyway.

And it's relatively cheap.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, Eagle Boys pizza.

Oh, Eagle Boys.

They had some good pizza.

I can't remember if they had pizza.
