Franchise writer Janet Sparks interviewed the in-house attorney for Cuppy’s Coffee, and posted the company’s explanation on her blog at Blue MauMau:
In an effort to put to rest the never-ending blog mayhem related to Cuppy’s Coffee, Smoothies and More and its purchase of assets of Java Jo’z Coffee and More, Lou Manganello, the company’s in-house attorney, answered questions for Blue MauMau in an interview this week. The firestorm of criticism in the blogosphere has been triggered by allegations that the newly formed coffee franchise emerged out of the ashes of an existing licensing company, Java Jo’z, and that in reality the two are virtually the same. As a result of the sale, many feel Java Jo’z had abandoned many of its licensees, leaving them with little hope of getting back their $30,000 refundable deposits.
