I got a funny email from Stephanie, one of my employees, today. The subject line was “connecting at Whole Foods.” She is not feeling very well and it’s getting colder in L.A. so she was wearing her Yale sweatpants for the first time since she moved here four months ago. She walked from her home to Whole Foods and was getting ready to sit down with her taco lunch when someone about her age saw her pants and said, “Hey, did you go to Yale?” “Yes,” she said, “Did you?” They exchanged class years, but she learned this guy had left before graduation to become a successful race car driver. Then Stephanie said, “Can I sit down with you?” I’ve taught her well.

Re: Any franchising horror story? - [quote="Boola":3v4xydbm]Myself, and a dozen other Pizza Pizza franchisees lost their shops this year and can not afford a lawyer. In my case, after 1 year I requested to have the shop sold because what they sold us on paper clearly wasn't what was reality. After the 2 year mark was over (the out limit according to Ontario Law), I started receiving demand letters 2 termination notices. 6 months ago they took the shop and I'm still in limbo.. out almost 200K, my time, my wife's time and am receiving social assistance. Technically, I still own the business and the equipment but they will not "buy it back" from me nor will they budge until they find a new owner. They will also not allow me to refinance the collateral at a better interest rate and free up the equity so that we can get on with our lives. Totally disappointed, depressed and we're at risk of loosing our home because we can't make the payments anymore. A company full of broken promises.[/quote:3v4xydbm] Hi Boola, I'm very sorry to hear about your misfortune but can I ask how you lost your Pizza Pizza shop?
