The issues with the franchisor are much deeper than it appears. 1. The company is undercapitalized. An investment bank retained to raise capital for the franchisor had discontinued its efforts after having received commitments for approximately 25% of the targeted capital. This was a result of the poor operating results of the company and its underlying franchisees. 2. The company has been seeking an acquiror of its operations. Throughout this effort the issues and challenges brought to the attention of the company by its franchisees have been quietly addressed but none of the problems have been resolved. 3. The misrepresentations made by the franchisor to induce franchisees to acquire territories and open up an Original Soupman outlet are many: (a) understatement of food costs; (b) co-branding with Cremalita ice cream to balance overall sales in warm months was abandoned soon after first 12 stores opened for business; (c) mandated use of cups and bowls that are 25% larger than purported serving portions, resulting in giving away 25% more product than consumer was paying for and at the same time causing an increase in purchases of product from the company to replenish inventory. 1.

The irony is that some of the Franchisees were convinced to buy into the company because Soupman was Co-Branding with a high end low fat ice cream. After deceiving the operators, taking their lifesavings, Soupman dropped the ice cream co-branding and led the Franchisees down the the drain. The company is a disaster and its management is to blame. Operators have lost their life savings, homes and filed for bankruptcy as a result of Soupman's mismanagement. Shame on You Soupman!
