Why it’s on the listA short insider history of Steak n Shake by Robert P. Cronin, who ran the chain as CEO through the 1970s — how a regional burger-and-milkshake operation built and then held a service culture, “In Sight It Must Be Right,” as the company expanded and changed hands.

Where I heard about it

  • @mastersinvest — one of the 46 books on his “2025 Reading … so far” list, August 2025, and a good example of the list’s centre of gravity: a small, obscure, company-published operating history rather than a bestseller. The full list is on 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).

Connections
