Has IFPG Stopped Promoting the DonutNV Franchise?

Franchise broker organization The International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG) appears to have deleted all but one of its DonutNV press releases from its IFPG News feed.  The releases had promoted the DonutNV franchise opportunity & congratulated members who had earned commissions promoting the mini-donut franchise.  DonutNV and its sales organization Franchise Fastlane have been the subject of recent posts and discussions on Unhappy Franchisee.  by Sean Kelly

(UnhappyFranchisee.Com)  Members of early every franchise broker group has been actively promoting the DonutNV fee-ding frenzy and referring prospective franchisees to Franchise Fastlane in the last year and a half. 

As a result, Franchise Fastlane has boasted selling 284 franchise territories in that short timeframe.

The Franchise Fastlane team recently celebrated with the International Franchise Professionals Group at the IFPG Retreat at the Diplomat Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, FL.

Franchise Fastlane Founder Ryan Zink declared:  “We are stoked to be in cahoots with IFPG!”

Recently, UnhappyFranchisee.Com has been prompting discussion on both the DonutNV franchise and the much-hyped success story that has fueled its aggressive franchise sales.

While researching the media hype today, I learned that many of the Google-indexed links from the IFPG news feed were no longer valid.

IFPG press releases and promotions referencing the closed franchise sales involving commissioned IFPG brokers still appear in Google search, but the pages and content have been deleted.

The headlines read:

“DonutNV Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024”
“DonutNV Franchise is Headed to Atlantic City!”
“DonutNV Franchise Adds Sweet New Locations in Atlanta”
“DonutNV Adds a New SWEET franchisee in Greensburg, PA!”
“DonutNV Adds a SWEET New Franchisee in Erie, PA!”
“DonutNV Franchise Adds 2 Territories Deal in Austin, TX”
“DonutNV Franchise Joins the Edmond/Oklahoma City, OK Market!”
“DonutNV Franchise Awards IFPG Consultant Candidates …[Houston]”
“DonutNV Franchise Adds a New Franchisee in Fort Myers, FL”

In fact, the only DonutNV release that still remains in the IFPG “News” feed is one that had an incorrect headline attached to it:

IFPG Consultant & Career Transition Close Budget Blinds Deal

The sole remaining press release (undated) contains IFPG’s praise for Franchise Fastlane’s much-hyped DonutNV:

Franchise FastLane is so excited to be representing DonutNV as the FIRST food brand in the FastLane. This brand will move FAST with 54 current franchisees in 110 territories and no plans of slowing down! Franchisees love this tasty brand because of the minimal employees, little/no waste, and SWEET profit margins.

DonutNV is packed with everything franchisees need to be successful, including a fully interactive turnkey mobile donut shop, marketing support, technology tools for booking events, and full support on licensing and permitting. Not to mention, this brand provides extreme flexibility on where to operate and when to operate. This brand has it all and nearly wide-open territory available across the country!
