I spoke with Jennifer at LAWL “customer service” today. She told me the ‘blog’ sites that say they are closing all stores is totally untrue. She told me they are still producing LA lite bars and that they are readily available to franchise owners. My franchise owner told me that she was unable to get product from the company 3 months ago. I was also told that each individual must go to their respective franchise owner to get a refund and that the headquarters is “not responsible” for what the franchise owner does. I find this ridiculous. I guess they don’t care if the owner sells bars that are unavailable, sells contracts that will not be honored or anything else. I was also asked to wait a week and call this 1-877-524-3571 “customer service” number to get more info on the franchise owner. I called the number and the mailbox is full. Jennifer also told me the reason the website does not work is a malfunction. All of it is total b__ll__it. I was given an email address for my franchise owner and told that was all they had. What kind of company is this! Who is allowed to sell franchises to a person that provides an email address only? I have contacted and filed complaints with the city business licensing department, state franchise tax board, state attorney general, state dept of consumer affairs, department of corporations and franchises, the board of equalization and the IRS. Anyone else that got “taken” should do the same. These people need to be held accountable for their actions.

There are reports from vendors of LAWL Franchise Corporation that they will announce Friday (Oct. 17) that the Franchise Corporation and all LATO centers will be closed effective immediately.

What this means to franchised locations is anyone’s guess, but without the support of the Franchise Corporation, I imagine it would be difficult for the franchise stores to remain open under the name LA Weight Loss for very long.
