  • I have a question for those Cuppy's still in business: I am wondering how many Cuppy's have changed their name? And if there may be legal rammifications by those of us who still have the Cuppy's name on our buildings??

  • I have a bigger question. Since Cuppys has not legally, nor officially halted operations, How could an existing franchisee change their name? How could an existing franchisee discontinue paying royalties? They must go through the legal process. Two wrongs don't make a right. If I was an existing operating franchisee, I would be making sure I followed the agreement to the T until no longer legally bound. Unfortunately for me I have lost more money than most and did not even get a chance to build out, but I can guarantee you I am following the legal process to resolve the mess I am currently in.


  • The franchisor would be in default of the franchise agreement. The franchisee would need to follow the procedures outlined in the FA to declare the franchisor in default and cancel the agreement. I'm sure it would involve sending a certified letter to the franchisor establishing the conditions of the breach, allowing a period to cure and failing the cure, would result in the breach.

  • I'm from Rialto California, I paid for the Cuppy's franchise but never get to open or even to win a bid for a location, at this time I'm filing a case along with othe franchisee's.

    • Cuppy's has never collected royalties. In fact, it's been reported they never even set up the procedures to collect royalties.

      Legit franchise companies make their money by collecting royalties long term from successful franchise owners. Wonder what this indicates?

  • Actually, they did collect royalties from those franchisees dumb enough to send them in without asking. The early group of java joz to Cuppy's converts had a flat royalty (in some cases as low as $50 per month) and some of the franchisees just sent in a check every month. In terms of a system for collection, they had an excel spreadsheet, does that count?

  • Regardless if there is an address to send the payments to or not , a contract is a contract until mutually / legally void. My thought is at some point an existing operating franchise may get a call stating "oh by the way" your royalties we have not recieved for the past year are now due.
