CUPPY’S COFFEE: 225 Franchisees? To Open 165?

As Michael Moore said, we live in fictional times.

The Columbus Dispatch announced the opening of a new Cuppy’s Coffee. (Congratulations to the owner… we know what an accomplishment getting one of these opened can be.) Interesting numbers coming out in the press:

Cuppy’s Coffee, Smoothies & More has opened its third store in Ohio, at 849 N. High St. in the Short North.
It now includes 225 franchisees and intends to open 168 stores across the United States in the next six months.

Think Dale Nabors can get 168 stores open in the next 6 months?

PS The local franchisee is reportedly Maj Firouzian. Wasn’t this the location mentioned in the SBT Technologies lawsuit against Elite? The invoices for this building were in the exhibits.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
