It might be an income thing as to why certain restaurants are not in inner cities. I’ll use my hometown for example. I am from Detroit, MI.

The Airport and Downtown Detroit Don’t Count

Detroit only has Starbucks in Downtown Detroit. Downtown has white people that live and work downtown. As far as the hood hood!?? Nope not gone see a Panera Bread, Whole Foods, Earth Fare.

All the lil chain restaurants that cost more money is in the suburbs. It could be that they don’t want their business in Detroit or for white people to have to travel to Detroit to get the food.
