How many franchisees are having these problems?
These people are not looking at themselves for their failure. I currently own Wetzels Pretzels franchises and have been in the business for over 10 years. A franchise limits your failure rate - 80% of all small businesses fail!! This is a known statistic. A franchise system limits or lowers your failure rate. These people need to look at their operations, customer service, employees, and attitude. I have been to their store and can see why they are failing.
The Coffee Beanery is a long established company with the best coffe in the industry. They have proven coffee products that customers love. Coffee cafe’s are a basic concept operated by a whole host of independent, franchised, and corporate companies. Even Starbucks is closing stores - not every business will succeed. These people say that they have great experience prior to becoming a franchisee - look at your operations. It is different to be an executive vs running a day to day operation that requires you to do alot of physical work and deal with low pay empolyees. These people chose a lawsuit instead of making their store work!
The Coffee Beanery has a long history of franchising and involvement in the franchise industry and coffee industry. All that I can say is that I would franchise with these people!
