Because of your success they just sold another franchise in your area that will be opening after the first of the year. Isn't that just dandy. Maybe now you will understand what most of us owners have been going through. Good luck as I'm sure you are going to need it. What that you say? Your area is protected in your franchise agreement. Better read it again as you are wrong as they have the right to sell it and believe me they can, they will and in you case they already did. Be sure to let us know how you are doing at the end of Feb 09. Hi Sally,

Is it possible that Howard actually may have over looked a territory that he could have sold more Curves? “Yes Virginia there Santa Claus”, and it is possible that a territory has slipped passed Howard’s, “Curves Maximization Territorial Mapping Department”. That statistical overlook rate as about the same as the possibility of a birth of a two-headed snail, which is remote, yet statistically possible. For those of you who are unfamiliar where Lockport, NY is located. The town is about twenty miles east of the Canadian border and twenty-five miles northeast of Buffalo, NY. The town is sandwiched in by neighboring backwater towns of Hickory Corners to the north and Shooktown to the south. Lockport has a population of about 22, 000 with the outlaying towns with much smaller populations. I really do not have much knowledge of Lockport’s economy. But why she moved into what seems to be a more expensive location is questionable to me giving the state of the economy. I have seen other owners do this (trade up in rental space) with the end result of a business failure. I speculate that Sally is a working owner, which helps immensely. However, she is also very ignorant of the ethics of Curves which I base that upon her statement of, “She initially chose Curves in part because she “felt comfortable with the owners and the integrity of the company”. I do wish Sally luck as she will need it given the current state of the economy. If she is successful in the next three years it will probably because she is a good business woman, she has guts or is naïve (not sure which at this point) and that Curves has left her alone (meaning Curves has not oversold in the area and has allowed her operate outside the framework of what Curves normally mandates.) Lets check in with Sally in about six months, shall we? Is it true?
