Folks

I used to be a franchisee for Subway with two locations and from the beginning I knew I was in the presence of corporate mobsters.

They were constantly looking for reasons to audit your books and accuse you of underreporting sales. If you crossed them you had company inspectors invading your store all hours of the day and night harassing your employees.

The day I found myself seriously contemplating killing one of the inspectors I knew it was time to get out.

I sold the stores to a couple and the company ran them out of the francise after six months. One of the local company men bought the stores for less than the people paid and owns them to this day.

Please, don’t ever buy a subway franchise folks...

Subway top management are devious scum. Jared is a creepy dude.

Are there any honest franchisors? It might be that the good companies never get in the news, but it always seems like the franchisees overpay for a franchise and then the corporate HQ overcharges for supplies and just looks for a reason to take over sucessful restaurants.

Interesting testimonial.
There're many right here --either out of work or on the way out-- thinking of entrepreneurial opportunities. Franchises I'd guess would have to paly a huge part of any individuals plan to own their own business.

Many thanks.

I hear you always smell like onions and a sub sandwich when you go home and you can’t shake the smell...
