7-Eleven Franchise, CEO Joe DePinto Under Fire by Angry Franchisees
7-Eleven franchisees are mad as hell and not taking it anymore.
(UnhappyFranchisee.Com) Many 7-Eleven franchise owners claim that they have been victimized by a brutal, exploitive scheme wherein 7-Eleven, Inc. seizes their franchised stores with the intention of reselling them at a profit to new franchisees, an industry practice known as “churning.”Many of these stores were operated by honest, compliant franchisees and their families for decades and had built up goodwill worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.Insider whistleblower Kurt McCord has seemingly validated many of these claims (See 7-ELEVEN Bombshell: Insider Accuses 7-11 of Predatory Franchise Practices).7-Eleven franchise owners are fighting back with a slew of lawsuits against 7-Eleven, Inc.

The group lawsuit even inspired the blistering 7-ELEVEN Franchise Blues – A Protest Song, which is posted on YouTube and UnhappyFranchisee.Com.

i was 711 franchise for 28 years i owned many stores .but my success was due to the fact as follow the system and join hands with company on new things i opened my own stores and knows the importance to bring new ideas and items to be in the new world and competition
people who build assets by steeling from 711 are crying with the change it means they are not fit to be a franchise in todays world ,either they change or leave business is taught now for any retail company in todays world .these old franchise wants old system lots of money but now it will only come in listening to 711 team .i made good living while i was a franchise with 711 inc .
First if al 7-11 only takes your store and our put.on probation until what that frans. Did don’t go blaming them because u fuck u your books.if your losing money at 9ne of there stores then it’s your ass quit blaming big companies for your missus of money seen it first hand with these frans. Stores.
My dear hurus.. show me that act of making money with hand in hand with the 7-11 if u own a low volume store. If you are little educated and have somewhat of dignity left in you , you will come to hate yourself and your leash holder within 1 year . If you don’t feel like a slave in one year guess what 7- eleven just hit a lifetime money making machine.
