Not surprising – they had no idea how to operate a franchise or a food business. I hope the people who bought their story get some retribution.

Sean,
A prime example of someone who did not call folks like you and I BEFORE they got suckered into somebody’s weak-ass franchise development presentation.

People:

before you “franchise” your business, talk to franchise industry INSIDERS. Not salespeople.

Sean,
THIS sentence in her well thought out email was the best:

“We have really enjoyed helping you feed your families”

Spoken like a true non-profit.

Well, “so sad been good to snow ya” Seems to be the modus operandi for most franchisors in this industry.
All segments of this industry have hemorraghed stores, lawsuits abound and still they try to sell franchises…amazing.
Well Mee-Shell-my belle so long, fare well we’re bidding you adieu, adieu, adieu to you and you and you…I’m in a Sound of Music kinda mood tonight!
