DonutNV Franchisee Marc Schnobrich (Hilton Head, Savannah) May Have Left the System

Chiropractor Marc Schnobrich engaged the services of franchise broker Franchise Sidekick to find him a passive investor, semi-absentee model franchise investment.  It appears that franchise advisor Mike Silverman recommended DonutNV, whose sales agent Franchise Fastlane touted as a highly profitable franchise that could be run passively.   Schnobrich’s territories no longer appear on the DonutNV website.  It’s rumored the successful chiropractor walked away from his multi-unit investment.  by Sean Kelly.

January 6, 2023, Franchise Sidekick Advisor Mike Silverman congratulated his placement, Marc, who signed up to be DonutNV franchisee for Hilton Head, SC and Savannah, GA markets.The 2024 DonutNV Franchise Disclosure Document lists chiropractor Marc Schnobrich under Georgia, with an address in Hilton Head Island.

Georgia
Marc Schnobrich*
3 Cedar Ct, Hilton Head Island SC 29926
843-384-0128

* Purchased additional territories for future development

The DonutNV website does not currently list an active franchise within 3 hours of Hilton Head, SC or Savannah, GA.

It’s rumored (unconfirmed) that Dr. Schnobrich simply turned over his equipment to the DonutNV franchisor and walked away from his investment some time in 2024.

Perhaps DonutNV and/or Mike Silverman can confirm or deny that rumor.

Hopefully, the status of Marc Schnobrich’s Hilton Head SC and Savannah GA franchises will be disclosed in the 2025 DonutNV Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) due to be issued April 31, 2015.
