Dale Nabors, the owner of Cuppy’s Coffee, once told me on the Blue Mau Mau Site to never invest more money than you can afford to lose!

Unfortunately, Dale, who bought Cuppy’s apparently thought that this was a good investment, but something happened! He didn’t understand the risk inolved because the sellers, perhaps, withheld the truth from him. It will probably be sorted out in the courts, eventually.

Usually, in cases like this, the little fish are just food for the big fish.

But, be sure and report this to your State Attorney General and ask him if you have any recourse and whether or not Cuppy’s can still sell franchises in your State.

Good Luck. I’m just a little fish too!

Elite sent me a form to settle my claim when my business could not get started. Said they would pay back my investment in ” monthly payments” this was in August of 2008 since then no one word all phone numbers no good, all email no good nothing.

Java Jo’z Coming to Arlington

Six Flags will not be the only reason to visit Arlington TX, a Java Jo’z licensee has completed and signed a lease to open a coffee cafe in the area. Look for the new Java Jo’z to open soon.

Curious… It opened in 2008 and is already for sale?

I am Arlington. We opened in July 2007 and closed March 2008. I’m surprised that Temple is already up for sale. I didn’t think it had already opened.
