CUPPY’S COFFEE: Emails Clarify that the AAFD Advocates For the AAFD
This email was recently shared with us. Bob Purvin states that the self-proclaimed franchise fairness organization AAFD (American Association of Franchisees & Dealers) is forming a Franchise Owners Advisory group and that new owner of Cuppy’s Coffee Dale Nabors should “step forward” for the good of the Cuppy’s Coffee brand.
Purvin tells Dale that he pulled his AAFD accreditation because he “is no longer cooperating” with the AAFD.
Funny… hadn’t Purvin been claiming that the accreditation was for having a fair contract? Was returning Bob Purvin’s scintillating phone calls a stated requirement? Shouldn’t it be renamed the “Cooperating With and Paying the AAFD” Accreditation Award?

Subject: Still Offering to Work for a Solution
Dale,I remain confused as to why you closed down communications between us, and backed away from utilizing the AAFD to mediate solutions to Cuppy’s and Elite’s mounting difficulties. In a sense, I guess you did me a favor, since there were many cries from outside and inside the AAFD calling for the AAFD to withdraw our accreditation of the Cuppy’s contract.
In the final analysis, it was your failure to respond to any of my calls or emails, and your failure to respond to recent complaints, that led me to ’suspend’ your status and make a report to my board that essentially said, “Cuppy’s has stopped communicating with us, and is no longer cooperating with us, and on that basis I think I have no choice but to recommend withdrawal of accreditation.”
I don’t know if you have been following our communications to the blogs, or if Cuppy’s personnel was on our recent conference call, but it remains my goal to help engineer a workout plan that will save the Cuppy’s brand for the effective benefit of franchisees who have invested with Cuppy’s, as well as your own investment in the future of this brand.
It is not too late for you to step forward. We are in the process of forming a Cuppy’s FOA. This group can be your biggest ally in developing a workout that will benefit the company and your franchisees. I think this is what the leaders will prefer. You didn’t respond before, and I don’t have any expectations that I will hear from you now. But I believe the AAFD offers you a path towards negotiated solutions, and preservation, and others are suggesting a very different course of conduct.
Hoping, still, to hear from you.
Best regards,
Bob Purvin
WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHARE A COMMENT BELOW.
Dale Nabors is the biggest fraud to ever come down a “dirt” road. Dale Nabors is working around the clock all right…just ask any franchisee that has called and wanted to speak with him. Just as he states, ” calls and emails aren’t a priority.” He is right about one thing he states, ” it all comes down to money.” Let me tell you abou the money…He’s giving Cuppy’s franchisee’s who want their deposit back their money alright. How about $1000.00 now and $100.00 a month for the next what….30 years? And Nabors calls this “Settling Refunds?” How about “Increasing Unit Profitability?” How many Cuppy’s closed this month? Mr Unit Profitability? As for the Francise Agreement being fair or not who cares…you will never sell another Cuppy’s on this planet. Three years to form an FOA? LOL In three years there want be one Cuppy’s left. You say ” you’re open to any and all communication” ROFLAO Your last sentence is the best, ” You’re open to discussion, but you don’t have anything to discuss. That last sentence of the email to Purvin is so Dale Nabors. HE TALKS IN CIRCLES AND SAYS NOTHING
If nothing else Mr Nabors…you sure keep us humored with your “jibber jabber.”
