Here's a question I'm curious to hear people's opinion on. I've read many KP fanfics where Bueno Nacho was mentioned to no longer exist after the events of "StD". It's quite understandable, given Drakken no doubt bankrupted the franchise and people would likely not want to eat anymore there. However, there are fanfics where the author have Bueno Nacho still in business after "StD". I certainly can't imagine the KP world without Bueno Nacho, given it's their version of McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Taco Bell. So I ask you what do you think? Do you think Bueno Nacho still is in business after "StD" or do you think the mighty frachise, that Ron's loves, had bitten the dust?

I think Bueno Nacho survived. The way I see it, when Drakken was put in jail, the original owner could have bought it back. At least thats how I think of it because that's how it is in my fanfics.

Well I personally think Bueno Nacho survived:
Even Drakken undoubtly drove the company into the dust, someone always comes to fill the executive void. It might take a few years but Bueno Nacho would most certainly get back up, with Ron possibly at the helm after he finishes collage.

Ron loves BN, I think he would do anything he can to bring it back to the way it was.

Yeah I think it survived, it still should be worth a lot in stock. Unless people lost faith in BN and it went south but I think Ron would have made sure they survived.

Thirty thousand locations? They're not just going to diappear, I don't think. We don't know exactly how Drakken's "hostile takeover" was leveraged. Once upon a time, Ron's "naco" royalties were a big wad of cash to Drakken. Buying BN would obviously take much more than that. But since it was a hostile takeover, against the will of the BN board of directors, and Drakken's the one who did it, one assumes that there was something illegal about the deal, and it might be nullified somehow by the Securites and Exchange Commission, restoring BN to previous management. It'd be big news in the Wall Street Journal and the financial web sites for months. I'm sure, if their menu was still popular (and this seems to be the case) they'd reopen, if they even closed at all.

It seems that BN is the Mexican food version of McDonalds. McDonalds seems to be just about everywhere. Didn't we see BN locations in Japan and France in STD?
That being said, BN is too powerful of a restaurant chain to close overnight. It's stocks would obviously go down. And there would be a period of time when people would be afraid to go back. And the government (and BN too) would want to get back all the Diablo toys. But restaurants always have die-hard customers who come back no matter what.
So BN doesn't need Ron to stay successful. Although he has done a lot for them. The invention of the naco for one. And two, in Go Team Go, he goes "talks to these people" about the future of wraps.

Once they got rid of the kids toys I think people would trust them more, and also once they knew the truth about what had been going on (with Drakken's takeover and evil schemes and such).

The more I think about this, the more I think Drakken must have gotten control of Bueno Nacho through some kind of "corporate shyster" type fraud, perhaps spreading false rumors on the internet to lower the stock's value, to make getting control more affordable. Which probably means Drakken had some kind of holding company, and leveraged money with an initial public offering. Evidently after "Rappin Drakken" he decided being a corporate shyster wasn't such a bad idea after all. Hmm.... Well, if any of you are still wondering how Drakken got the funds to build his "So the Drama" evil empire, this might be the answer.

Drakken even said it was in a hostile takeover, meaning probably something illegal went on. I can see them staying around and maybe Ron getting a major position in there.

Well, Drakken did create at least one synthodrone will a fully-formed and believable personnality.
Why not, say, replace a few key people on the board of directors (do fast food chains even have those?) with synthodrone copies? They'd only have to be convincing long enough to transfer their shares to Drakken (or whatever they'd have to do to get Drakken in the CEO spot; I'm an engineer, not a businessman).

A hostile takeover occurs when one corporation buys another by gaining majority control of its common stock without approval of the taken-over company's management or board of directors. It's not illegal to do this. The illegality I was suggesting would be something like spreading false rumors about Bueno Nacho's financial health to cheapen the stock, sort of the reverse of what was done with Enron and Worldcom (financial reports better than what was really happening) to increase the stock price. So by this theory, Drakken would set up his own corp, sell stock in an initial public offering to raise money, then use this to buy Bueno Nacho stock. The crime here would be Drakken's corp set up on false premises. You're supposed to be able to trust corporate financial statements. The SEC really doesn't like it when you can't, and that's what the Enron and Worldcom trials were all about.

I was a biology major when I went to college 1967-1971. As for my knowledge of business stuff, blame it on years of online stock market trading. You have to watch these corporate guys.

[glow=purple,2,300]I would hope BN is still in bussiness. Ron and Rufus wouldn't live without it. Hey if there was a BN in real life, I'd probably love it too, but maybe that's my love for all foods mexican talking. ;D[/glow]

Oh yeah, folks. Bueno Nacho is still going strong, but Ned tells me that Drakken took over the company entirely legally. So now he's still in charge, but running the company from under house arrest. Sort of like Martha Stewart, if Martha Stewart was a ruthless megalomaniacal... Wait, he's EXACTLY like Martha Stewart.
