Unsourced promotional article that reads like a press release –  Broccoli  &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 19:49, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: if you found sources, you've got to list them here, so people can evaluate them. I can't in good faith close this as keep with no known sources other than a press release.
 * Weak keep. Google News search results turn up plenty of reliable independent sources that focus on the company and demonstrate some notability. The article will need more sources but it can be improved. Appears to meet WP:NORG. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 02:27, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - While I agree with the nom's promotional content currently, I don't think it's that egregious so as to warrant WP:TNT, and searches did turn up enough in-depth coverage from reliable sources to pass WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Onel 5969  TT me 15:24, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep – This is based totally on the number of locations, in excess of 1,000 separate locations. Typically any franchise or wholly owned corporation with this number of store locations is deemed notable (an example is a wholly company owed convenience store called Wawa, Pennsylvania here in the States.
 * On the other hand, I can understand the nomination here at AFD. There is no National or International independent news coverage.  In additional there is virtually no local independent news attention.  The only area of significant exposure of the company is through Trade magazine.  For, many they will claim this is third party coverage.  However, I take their articles with tongue in cheek in that if you spend enough advertising dollars with the magazine they will proclaim your company as the second coming.


 * With all this said I still go with a Weak Keep based on size and at worst a Merge/Redirect to TBC Corporation the parent company. Thanks.  ShoesssS Talk 15:21, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
