7-ELEVEN Franchise Blues – A Protest Song (An UnhappyFranchisee.Com Original)
States the intro:
“A lawsuit filed by more than 1200 7-Eleven franchisees alleges that the company’s ‘Asset Protection’ team stalks, bullies and harasses innocent franchisees with the goal of seizing the valuable franchises some spent decades building.
“Under the leadership of CEO Joe DePinto, the Japanese-owned company then resells the franchises for windfall profits, the suit alleges.”
7-Eleven Franchise Blues – A Protest Song
by Franchisee Ernie Ford
I bought a 7-Eleven & what did I get?
Stalked & bullied & deep in debt.
Asset Protection says I must go…
My Store’s being re-sold by Joe DePinto!
From Mumbai to Delhi to Bangalore
They dream of running a convenience store
They pool their money & American Dreams
Of selling ice-cold Slurpees & magazines
Big Brother is watching with cameras & more
He sees every corner of every store
He’s watching from Dallas but don’t you know?
He takes his orders from Tokyo
If you see their lawyers better run and hide
Franchisees didn’t & a lot of them cried
If they want your store, no chance you stand
When Joe says he needs another hundred grand
I bought a 7-Eleven & what did I get?
Stalked & bullied & deep in debt.
Asset Protection says I must go…
My Store’s being re-sold by Joe DePinto!
