Thank you @CaliforniaDFPI for not only taking action against ⁦@Dickeys, but issuing a press release which should serve as a deterrent to other franchises not following disclosure law. Not only will actions be taken, but they will be publicized. dfpi.ca.gov/press_release/df…

Thank you @GovWesMoore for signing HB730 and SB415 into law. It will provide franchisees with a right of association. A franchisor may not restrict or inhibit a franchisee from joining an association with other franchisees. Thank you Delegate @mkorman and Senator Pam Beidle for leading the effort. @AAFD_ @cfainc

Franchising can be a lifeline for those looking to create their own American dream. But that dream can soon turn into a nightmare, one in which a franchisee is under the thumb of a predatory corporation. I just introduced a bill to empower franchisees. schakowsky.house.gov/media/p…

It was a privilege to represent both the @AAFD_ and @cfainc in hearings and to work with the @Franchising411 as the three organizations cosponsoring SB-919. This bill will provide much better transparency to prospective franchisees on the franchise brokers they are working with.

Thank you ⁦@jasonmarkstv⁩ at ⁦@kcranews⁩ for running this story. While the Burgerim story is in many ways old news, it reminds us of the long term impact as it is still ruining people's lives today. Bad franchising is much more than a statistic kcra.com/article/modesto-bur…

I want everyone involved in franchising to listen to the first 55 minutes of this @FTC Open Meeting. We need to do better. Thank you to the brave franchisees who have spoken out, I know there are many more that are still afraid. kvgo.com/ftc/open-commission…

Brutal story on @Dickeys by @jonathanmaze at @RB_magazine. As usual, Dickey’s response is that it is all the franchisees’ faults. Except actions speak louder than words, and the churn in this brand speaks for itself. restaurantbusinessonline.com…

An arbitrator ruled that @ChoiceHotels is liable to a #Franchisee hotel owner for three breach-of-contract claims by finding that Choice Hotels violated terms of its own franchise agreements. Read more here: lnkd.in/gUg9wSkt #fairfranchising #franchising #AAHOA

While many in franchising argue it is critical to maintain non-competes on franchisees, c-suite executives seem to have no such restrictions. Isn’t it crazy to think a CMO is less risk than a franchisee? restaurantbusinessonline.com…

Wrote again about McDonald’s tension-filled relationship with franchisees. The short of it: The brand has made a massive number of changes in how it deals with operators. And that’s why we see this kind of “fear” in the system. restaurantbusinessonline.com…
