Now they will have to go to Waffle House when they have a hankerin’ to do a shootemup at 2AM
Maybe when folks in the region get sick enough of what is
being taken away from them, they’ll take matters into their
own hands.
Until then, I hope they enjoy loosing S.
Yup. He owned a lot of stores (or the corporation did).
BK went to the dogs over the past few years. The food is horrible and the service is nonexistent.
“We Wuz Burga Kangz”.
I only liked the bacon-egg-cheese croissant. Everything else was crap.
What I do miss is the McDonalds bacon-egg-cheese bagel. Went away with the Covid reductions.
Ditto on Culvers. Try the Walleye sandwich or platter.
I’m not saying these stores have a particular demographic fingerprint, but it looks a little bit like these stores have a particular demographic fingerprint.
I just read thru 6 other articles about this and it appears that EYMKing the franchise owner is behind on franchise fees and royalty fees and advertising fees to Parent BK. The two are in litigation as we speak and won’t comment. This doesn’t appear to be Union related, Whitmer related or some kind of conspiracy. Just a Texas franchise owner who bought 26 locations in about the worst place he possibly could and is either losing his ass or pocketing his franchise fees. Who the hell buys 12 BK locations in Detroit, plus 14 more in surrounding burbs?

No you can't, you obviously know nothing about owning a franchise and selling your soul to the corporation.
This was all about a contractual agreement between Burger King and Burger King franchisee EYM King of Michigan who obviously could no longer meet the demands of the corporation and still make a profit.
I have a friend who owns two Jets Pizza franchises in northern Michigan. Corporate Jets almost put him out of business during the Covid when he was barely paying the bills when they forced him to offer discount coupons causing him to sell the pizzas at a loss. Fortunately he survived.
Then Corporate demanded he change the flooring in his store and remove a plant positioned at the entrance. His argument was that much of his winter business was skiers coming in out of the snow and the surface Jets wanted him to put down would have resulted in many slip and falls. He won that argument.
As for the plant, when he went to their corporate office in Clinton Twp., he saw that they had the same tree plant in their lobby and argued that since they had the fixture, he should be able to have the same one.
He won that argument........
Bottom line, the franchise has the legal right to make any demand of you, the franchisee, as they wish. And if you don't comply, they have the right to terminate your franchise.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of those franchise businesses spontaneously burst into flames in the middle of the night.
No BK have it your way now?
Check
The people in those areas don’t want a bunch of bunny food.
Interesting thoughts. Yeah, if he’s playing loose with the
fees, it isn’t the ‘hoods’ causing the problems.
Good for you for taking the cheese, at least, you didn’t shoot anyone or throw an alligator at them.
I agree! We don’t generally go to fast food places; but in a pinch we sometimes go to Culvers: No other fast food places.
That is a whopper of a story
They make the best french fries!
