Cork & Olive: Will Rainer Appold Seize Hold of the Reins?

(Best Franchise Opportunities)  Rumors are swirling about what will and/or should happen next with the troubled Cork & Olive wine franchise chain.  Some say Rainer Appold will soon take ahold of the reins.

"So the word on the street is that Rainer is going to re-open the franchise corp. He will be running the show. Who knows?" and "Not all of the other franchisees are on board with this. Several would not touch Rainer with a ten foot pole. Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me."

Adam asked:

"What are people’s opinions of Rainer Appold? I’m told that he and a few others are putting up money to revive Cork and Olive without any involvement of Michael Probst.

Does anyone know if it’s true that Appold and Probst are not getting along these days?

Can a Cork and Olive led by Rainer Appold succeed?

I’m told that most of the current franchisees are on board with this, except for the stores owned by Rick Munroe. Does anyone know if this is true/not true?"

WHAT DO YOU THINK?  WHO IS RAINER APPOLD?  DOES HE HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION?  CAN AND WILL HE PULL TOGETHER CORK & OLIVE & GET IT BACK ON TRACK?

AND WHERE IS MICHAEL PROBST IN ALL THIS?
