Spur Incident

It looks like Spur can not keep-up liking their wounds. Judging by all the FB crap, one place NOT to invest in South Africa is SPUR. It will be interesting to see how much their business got hurt. Waiting for the financial results ...

Who the heck likes their own wounds?
 
Had a lovely breakfast as the spur on Saturday. 14month old played in the kids section, and the child minders were awesome and the other kids generally well behaved...

10/10 will do it again.
Sounds boring at that Spur. :D
 
Spur has outlived it's time. What people realized is , there are other places to go.
It was bound to happen at some point.
They only sped up the process themselves.

Agree , spur has outlived it's time. They didn't change with the times.

Johannesburg - Due to the public outrage sparked by an incident at a Spur Texamo franchise in Oakdene in March, the backlash against the eatery’s franchise business has caused such a knock that its top management is embarking on a nationwide tour to get to try and clean up the mess.

In a statement released by the Spur Corporation’s CEO Pierre van Tonder, the company said the tour would be done in a bid to "gain a greater understanding of their customers and franchisees".

"Over the past few months, we have realised that we have not been listening to our customers," Van Tonder said.

"The altercation between two Spur customers in March in Johannesburg and the reaction that followed drove home a powerful message, namely that we urgently needed to give attention to the needs and frustrations of our customers."

He said the corporation accepted and recognised the sentiments of both the public and its franchisees with regards to the way they had handled the situation "overall".

"We hereby unconditionally apologise to any person or community who has taken exception to our actions and will ensure a fair hearing is conducted prior to judgements being made in future," he said.

Nobody even cares that they banned some guy anymore. They should just shut up about that and stop with the silly apologies.
Expand the menu to include a lot of the classics that was taken off. Bring back the specials, we need more specials al around.

Lower the prices. Its supposed to be a cheap family restaurant. There is nothing special about spur to warrant high prices. Advertise like crazy once you have cheap food and the masses will come.

Preach brother preach!
 
The only time I ever go to Spur is when I'm forced to at an airport.
Its over priced and terribly average food.
