I just dropped a small package at a UPS Store today, it weighed 1.6lbs and was not very large. They charged me $13.02, UPS website quoted me $10, and I could have sent it postal for about $8, although I wouldn’t have had tracking.

I won’t use the UPS Store anymore, they’re just too expensive…now maybe I understand why.

I’ve enjoyed recent visits to BrandCurve.com (check it out everybody) and meant to comment sooner.

I’m familiar with Monkey Joe’s, and featured them on my http://www.topnewfranchises.com blog. I’d love to interview your franchisee friend (invite her to email me at info[at]ideafarm.net).

Monkey Joe’s is part of Raving Brands, a very creative restaurant franchise group that founded and recently sold Moe’s Southwest Grill. I’d be interested in learning how your friend is doing with it.

I thought about mentioning your post to our UPS guy this morning, then thought better of it…

Hi Sean,
Thanks for commenting on my UPS post at Brandcurve.com. I’m glad you led me to your blog, which is chock full of great info! I was curious if you’ve heard of a new franchise in Central Florida called Monkey Joe’s. I have a friend who lives in Georgia who loves to take her son to the local Monkey Joe’s (www.monkeyjoes.com), and I can’t wait to take my kids to the one that opened near us. Not that I can afford it, but it sounds like a cool franchise.

I’ve worked with a number of large corporations (not UPS) that acquired franchise chains It can be very difficult for them to understand the nuances of working with franchise owners – or respect their concerns – as they are relatively small cogs in their very large machine.

An important lesson for those looking to buy in to a specific franchise. What are the current owner’s exit plans? Who would be a likely buyer? What are your rights,if any, if your franchisor is acquired?
