Haven't had time to investigate further
Fast food breakfast restaurants located in airports do a tone of business during brakfast hours and has the highest profit margins. Can you imagine breakfast without any pork products? No one would eat there.
So, you know before you sign the dotted line on buying a franchise.
Great concept. Doesn’t work so well when Islam is part of the mix, demanding no separation. At the point of a sword/gun.
The Constitution doesn’t provide freedom FROM religion.
The state has already established a religion - psychiatry. The state uses it in court houses everyday.
Church's and Popeye's used to both be owned by the same parent company, but Church's was sold to a new owner almost five years ago. AFAIK, Popeye's is not involved with the same investment bank.
Makes me wonder who else *is*, though.
KFC is being courted to offer halal meals (which includes segregated oils from non-halal products and meat sourced from Islamist butchers per Islamic law).
It’d be easier to make the whole menu halal than to segregate the kitchen equipment. And when facing a muslim run competitor, they don’t want to lose market share over something like that.
Who knows what Pepsico will do. Corporate America already surrendered to liberal special interest groups. Will they surrender to Islamic special interest groups too?
If it was a Jewish company, at least they could sell any Kosher pork they could get their hands on.
On a side note, remind me not to buy any Church’s chicken - for obvious reasons.
I am not sure if the contract says "because of the Sabbath", but I would venture a wild guess that the franchise agreement does prohibit being open on Sunday.
I seriously doubt that happened here, either. I'm unfamiliar with the Church's franchise agreement, but I'm absolutely positive it didn't contain any language about the menu. Typically, that sort of stuff is included in the manual, which is separate and apart from the franchise agreement. The franchise agreement will ALWAYS allow the franchisor, in its sole discretion, to change the manual at any time.
Just as an aside, Chick-fil-a disclaims franchise status. I think it is a franchise, but it claims that it's not. For whatever it's worth.
“And yes, I’m an intolerant bigot.”
Our membership is growing.
I disagree. Freedom OF religion allows me the freedom to NOT practice a religion.
I don’t like Churches chicken anyway. I will definately not buy from them since they are connected with some religious law of our enemy.
Franchises are a real gamble. An accountant friend of mine looked over a friends books for him to try to find out why he wasn’t making any money. He owned a 7-11.
After looking over the books, my friend told him that the way the franchise was structured most of any net profit went back to the parent corporation.
And this is why immigrants need to be required to conform to the existing laws of the land. I.e.: separation of church and state, and if they don’t like it they can leave.
We need bumper stickers.
A lot of franchises failed, so the pork restriction may not be why they failed.
However, the Sharia food rules put on a restaurant in the US should be illegal. This wasn’t KFC saying you can’t sell steak, we’re a chicken place - this was, you’re owned by Muslims, so you have to be Sharia compliant. But a lot of customers would have frequented other locations if they couldn’t get sausage or ham stuff at ONLY THAT LOCATION.
The couple probably isn’t the victim of racism - they’re victims of creeping jihad.
I am not sure about what’s in the contract only the ones I have seen are not open on Sunday.
