Document:
The big, long list of franchise lawsuits included below & disclosed in our 2016 Snap-on Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) might embarrass some franchisors, but not Snap-on, Inc. (NYSE: SNA).
At Snap-on, we’re proud of how we’ve pulled ourselves up by our breaches.
Should we be embarrassed to be sued repeatedly for fraud, deceptive & unfair practices, misrepresentation…?
Should we hide our heads in shame just because of our continuous allegations of franchise law violations, wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing…?
The list of allegations we’ve been sued for by franchisees is a testament to the lengths we’ll go to to return shareholder value at the expense of our franchise dealers!
Snap-on Inc. is proud of our rich heritage of franchisee litigation and class-action lawsuits.
Should we be embarrassed at spending nearly $240 million settling franchisee lawsuits in the past decade?
Heck no! The hundreds of millions we’ve spent in litigation related to the crap we do through our Crap-on Dealer’s Strategy & Initiative is a negligible cost compared to the profits we reap by crapping on our franchise dealers.
Sure, we’ve got to pay off a few loudmouths and troublemakers, but the vast majority of franchisees just drop their Snap-on logoed britches and take it like… men.
At Snap-on Inc. (NYSE: SNA), we know you sometimes gotta drop a few breaches to keep raising stock value.
