He is not involved in franchising, just a run of the mill wacko. Sean, I tried to write about hangovers but decided I needed to do more field research ;)

From what I can see, they are trying to do the right thing and put the past behind them. As to the profitability of the outlets and/or wisdom of investing in the particular system, I don't know. But they do seem to be promptly responding to f'zee concerns, and the complaints are now remarkably sparse.

Often the comments were actually left on another post here or at franchisormarketing.com or franbest.com, our sister sites. Cuppy's has since worked with the AAFD to create a franchisee-friendly agreement and the furor has quieted down. Medina, the eqpt company, is selling other franchise concepts. We had one angry comment on one of these blogs recently, but haven't heard much new. ANYONE? Search for the Franchise Times article post here on Cuppy's... that's interesting. If you hear more, please let us know. Beverly: If comments appeared here they shouldn’t have disappeared (sometimes they could get caught by SPAM filters before they appear).
