NY BAGEL CAFÉ Franchise: Have You Been Scammed?

Have you paid a franchise fee for a NY Bagel Café franchise, and were then unable to get financing or a suitable location?  Did Dennis Mason and Joe Smith refuse to return your franchise fee?  You may be the victim of fraud.  Contact UnhappyFranchisee.Com for help.

(UnhappyFranchisee.Com)  NY Bagel Café franchise advertisements promise that you can open your own sandwich café for an upfront payment of only $19,500 (sometimes $29,500, sometimes $17,500).

NY Bagel Cafe claims they are a successful, up-and-coming new franchise company and will provide “100% financing” for everything other than the initial franchise fee.

Alleged victims claim they were promised a full refund by NY Bagel CEO Joseph Smith and salesman Dennis Mason in the unlikely event that they didn’t qualify for financing.

Alleged victims tell us that once they paid their $17,500 – $29,500 franchise fee, salesman Dennis Mason gave them a list of very questionable lending sources, and were told that the franchisees – not NY Bagel Café – are responsible to get funding.

Some of these questionable lenders simply sign the franchisee up for a bunch of credit cards at interest rates likely to sink any start-up in the low-margin sandwich cafe sector.

We have been told by alleged NY Bagel Café franchise victims that Dennis Mason and Joe Smith refused to return their franchise fees, even when they were clearly unable to get financing for the $100,000 – $200,000 investment.

Many of these victims are surprised to learn that not only is NY Bagel Café likely violating multiple Federal franchise disclosure laws, but that more than 90% of the NY Bagel Café franchises end up closing their doors within a year or two.  (See NY BAGEL CAFÉ Franchise: How Many Have Closed? [UPDATED] and NY BAGEL CAFÉ Franchise Graveyard).

Most NY Bagel Café victims can’t afford to hire a lawyer to get back some, all or none of their money, so they simply just walk away from thousands of hard-earned dollars.
