Greg Lloyd Smith is regarded by some as a con-man and international fraudster, but to us he’s the creator of the brilliant SpudsToGo brand and (currently dormant) franchise opportunity. Now you can own this Greg Lloyd Smith branding masterpiece at a price that seems tuber good to be true!
(UnhappyFranchisee.Com) Greg Lloyd Smith’s philosophy after launching the SpudsToGo franchise opportunity must have been: If at first you don’t succeed, fry, fry again!
Greg Lloyd Smith introduced his SpudsToGo franchise in 2007 with an amazing offer: a 10 cent franchise fee!
Remarkably, it appears no one bit.
Smith made the mistake of publishing his introductory press release on the scandalous franchise site BlueMauMau.org, (“Want To Own Your Own Business? Gotta Dime?”) where it was met with instant derision by an unruly mob of know-it-all franchise attorneys, writers and consultants who completely missed the potential of the concept.
The resulting SpudsToGo comments section contained a barrage of attacks on the SpudsToGo mascot and Greg Lloyd Smith got so vicious and unruly that one of Smith’s aliases, Brian Richards, had to call the police!
Some of these cretins even had the nerve to suggest that the lively, loveable potato character (Which some affectionately dubbed Spuddie Pie) more resembles a large piece of excrement than a delicious and nutrient-chocked potato.
The SpudsToGo eBay listing is titled: “SpudsToGo Brand, Website, Trademarks, Domain Names, Goodwill” and includes free shipping and a 14 day refund policy (buyer pays return postage).
The description reads:
Originally founded in the United States in January 2005, SpudsToGo was acquired by IHT in August 2013 after it had been reincorporated in the UK in July 2013.

Judging from the “white” in the name, the seller may be the same person sending out emails as “Wiljam White” and “Bill White, Director”
…This email is a quite notification to you that the owner of SpudsToGo Limited is offering the entire brand for sale, including all related domain names, the current website, the EU registered trademark (owned by SpudsToGo Limited), the dormant UK company SpudsToGo Limited and the goodwill in the business and all intellectual properties associated with the brand for the sum of £999.99 via the following eBay listing:

They say po-ta-to, we say po-tah-to.
They say dangerous psychopath, we say creative visionary ahead of his time.
They say cartoon turd, we say loveable character, possibly with special needs.
What it comes down to is this: You can own a piece potato franchise history, or you can listen to these naysayers and forever wonder what might have been:
