Overall: I'm partial to ALT0, ~~AGF on sourcing in article for 'expanded to chicago', not seeing that in the cited sources here.~~ Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:23, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddie891: Early 1990s he had three stores in Washington per Seattle Times. Late 1990s (news clipping) he later had stores in Chicago. I could always reword "expand" to a different word if you prefer. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:38, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, that works for me-- sorry for missing that. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:48, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddie891: No worries! I reworded that sentence before you mentioned it here. Could you check if "By the late 1990s, Taylor had opened Burger King stores in Chicago and owned eighteen locations" is okay? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:50, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think that's better. Thanks, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
