Get The Focaccia!

I spotted a focaccia (Italian bread with veggies and maybe bits of bacon) shop while in Courmayeur a few days ago and got a great idea for a franchise. Kinda along the lines of It's A Bagel. As with all franchises you need a snappy name. I think

GET THE FOCACCIA!


has a certain ring to it. The menu would explain all the different types of focaccia available and so would be titled

WHAT THE FOCACCIA?


The opening hours, the recipe book and the store locator would be named along similar lines.

Cool. I wonder how old it is.

Also, it seems I'm #1 result on Google for "Get the focaccia".

does anyone have an email address for Get the Focaccia in crown passage - I want to tell management how absolutely attrociously downhill the service has got in that place - being a regular I swear I will not be going in there again until they get their act together - havin to queue for 10 mins to pay for something picked up off a shelf then listening to the staff bickering and arguing with each other not to mention their downright rudeness to customers is beyond a joke - they need to sort it out or they wont be the busy place they are now for much longer!!!

Hello Anonymous. This page is completely unrelated to the shop, I'm not even sure that the shop's name is supposed to be a joke.

Anyway, why not just ask one of the staff about speaking to the manager, or phone and ask?
