Franchisors assume that franchisees are too frightened, too timid, and too cheap to support any kind of competent resistance to any franchisor program. And most of the time the franchisors have been right in that assumption. Not without determination to organize and act effectively in a professionally regimented resistance group. Yes, if there is real vast majority level support. Annual per store costs for this kind of endeavor is extremely manageable.
Smokers spend more than that on cigarettes.
So, if your program is becoming an insufferable morass of franchisor over reaching, and you would like to have some chance to preserve the value of your equity in your franchised business, you, as a group, will simply have to make a decision to rise up and defend yourselves. No one will hand it to you as a gift. You are most certainly losing more every day than the cost of doing something about it. Call us and arrange a meeting. We can do this for you in an effective manner.
