Comments on: Cork & Olive Co-op: What’s the Story? http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com/cork-olive-co-op-whats-the-story/ The uncensored truth about franchises... from those who own them.

Thanks for the laugh. I think the little men are just trying to open for the holiday season. Trouble is this year they have gotten so much advertising they won't be able to sell their over priced crap. So I am not worried, the "new company" won't survive. They won't be able to sell it to anyone. There isn't a franchisee dumb enough to buy one after all the info on the internet. Thank you internet! More lawsuits are coming. Look out little man- you can run but unless you leave our country-look out~ I maybe silent, but I am still very involved and interested in seeing you all in jail. Insider, you are so right, and so funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Godspeed. looks like vinocean has been absorbed into the mix too...mmmm, pass the vinegar...I mean wine.....I guess they will be pushing the Jose Gaspar again this year from their 50 year supply. Clever buying. Way to go! Obviously Genius Material. I would see the inventory each week on the update sheets and I would tremble with fear when I saw the quantities of crap that they owned. No wonder we never got new wines. The $$$ was all tied up in the crappy wines. It's hard to sell the public junk., and after a while, I just gave up. Just what the public needs in a recession, overpriced lousy wine and olive oil that is actually WD40 drawn from the dirtiest clay pots that ever existed. How are they going to sell even one franchise with so many hostile owners? Who is doing the selling anyway? How does that pitch go? Hey, want to buy a bridge? No? how about a wine franchise???OK? Sign here-------------- what a disaster what a shame what a mess Even the wine brain bust has a head ache well ,the court approved the plan last wednesday

I worked there before you, and also brought the whole picture authorization thing to Stephanie's attention. She insisted whoever I spoke to was wrong, but I knew they were correct. The company they "borrowed" the photos from told me what specific things they were authorized to use the photos for and for how long. They told me their permission had expired. I told Stephanie, so she knew about that before you told her, so she chose to ignore the all important copyright laws by using the picures on banners, little cards and endless papers etc. I quit shortly after that.
