MAKE & TAKE GOURMET: Franchisees Sue Meal Prep Franchisor


Franchise attorney Michael Einbinder should send Dave & Michele Bellso a thank you note, and maybe a gift certificate to Dream Dinners, for not only providing seemingly blatant admissions of selling unregistered franchises and making what appear to be blatant earnings claims, but providing them in convenient and public interviews posted online.

No surprise, the early, failed franchisees who bought into the ill-planned and hasty franchise program have filed suit against the MAKE AND TAKE HOLDING LLC; BELLSOHOLDING.

  • Let the games begin. I'm sure this won't be the last in a LONG line of great opportunities or the legal profession to help out other Meal Assembly store owners get some well deserved justice..at least one can hope can't one?
    Might that explain the house going up for sale and the corporate store closing?
