• Thank you Thank you Thank you. I used to work for the Corporate Office and through the years noticed the hype manufactured for the sole reason of D.R. making more and more money at the cost of other people. (IN MY OPINION)

  Without going into the details of what this company did, I DO KNOW FOR SURE, that this BLOG is helping X franchisees know that what they thought is TRUE is in fact TRUE. (LACK OF SUPPORT)

  They can see that there was not enough support from the Corporate OFFICE for them and countless others. That their FAILURE now is also BBI's FAILURE.

  IT IS MY HOPE THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL THIS FRANCHISE COMPANY EVER EVER DO THIS TO INNOCENT PEOPLE AGAIN. The slogan reads... There is NO ( I ) in TEAM.

  People are talking, the word is getting out.... THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN ... STUPIDITY and CRIMINAL ACTION ????

  THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING READERS TO CATCH UP ON WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE FRANCHISE WORLD, instead of the unnecessary hype caused by the OWNERS of BBI and the media in TULSA.

  David is not the only guilty party in my opinion... There is a team still in the Corporate Office THAT SHOULD have KNOWN BETTER!!!!

• I too am a former employee at the corporate office at BBI, and I too saw the questionable tactics and did not stay long.

  The problem with the team still there is that they are all related to DR and have nothing else to do. They as well as everyone else there live in fear of being suddenly terminated and left hanging and maybe sued by DR's henchman.

  My question is if the franchisees can prove wrong doing in his practices is ther some sort of legal action that can be taken to try to recover some of their lost dollars?

  Thank you Unhappy franchisee for what you have done, I have been on the other side of this lawsuit crazy company and I am proud you stood your ground.

  BTW, I don't believe one thing that he said when he made his apology, I believe they were all lies fabricated to gain sympathy. I have seen him drink, I don't believe he is an alcololic.

  Former Employee

• FORMER LTH FRANCHISEE OWNER..NEED A GOOD LAWYER IN THE FREDERICKSBURG AREA TO TAKE ON LTH

• Contact Franchise attorney Jeffery Goldstein in Leesburg Va...He only represents Franchisees, is willing to litigate (important) and has taken on the big Franchises...
  Good luck

• Look around! This website is the only truth you can find in franchising. The IFA, Vetfran, Minorityfran, FTC, Federal Government, State Government and Local Government will not tell the truth or expose the criminal behavior surrounding corporations created to scam investors and tax payers out of their money . Victims are the ONLY way to educate yourself before you fall for a scam. This website provides that education if only you will take the time to learn from victims. Thank You Sean for your work!

  A coalition for franchisees would be great for franchising to give support to franchisees but that would end up just like abortion, 2nd Amendment and gay rights. Organizations never resolving an issue because they make so much money off the issue. Without strong leaders who can search their heart to lead our country we will continue to not resolve issues and allow organizations to profit from corruption.

  If a false business opportunity is supported by a coalition is the coalition responsible for the behavior of the organization providing the opportunity?

  If you are thinking of investing in ANY franchise please pay attention to this website as this website is unique. Thanks again!

• I cannot say enough good things about this site. I wish there was not a need for a site like this though, which would mean franchisors are taking care of their franchisees. As a franchisee that has a franchisor who keeps franchisees from communicating it's nice to see that others feel the same way about this franchise as I do. Our franchisor made us feel we were the only ones who felt that way, and the only ones not making a profit. After doing digging around on this site I have come to the conclusion it's just the opposite. This would've never happened without unhappyfranchisee.com. I only hope that future franchisees look to this site before buying into the gimmick. It's refreshing to have a site that protects the franchisees anonymity.

• Franchising today is nothing more than modern day racketeering, supported by and protected on behalf of the US Chamber of Commerce, the International Franchise Association and other high powered industry lobbyist and lawyers who get rich off the backs of franchisees. I live in a state (Indiana) that has franchise protection laws, when I filed a complaint, their reply was to say they would wait to see how my civil case turned out before they would take action :(

  The only thing franchisers fear are powerful, chartered Franchise Associations with lot of members. If your franchise doesn't have one, start one !! Wolves run in packs for a reason, be a WOLF !!

  Sean does a great job at unhappyfranchisee.com, support him all you can.

• This is a great website for people to share stories and experiences dealing with franchisees. Starting a franchised business is a difficult task, full of uncertainty and the necessity of being tightly linked to the franchisor's business practices and philosophy. This site helps potential franchisees learn about the franchisor before signing on the dotted line and putting (possibly) their life savings on the line.

• I know firsthand how I was defrauded by a franchise. If this site existed when I got entangled in the franchise I was involved with (liberty Tax Service), I would have been much wiser and less susceptible to their marketing lies. Keep up the good work here!!!!!!

• WOW this site is such a great source of info that you WILL NOT GET from the franchise corporate office. Gives me (you/us) a powerful tool to question them. We are just starting our franchise search and armed with this site, we won't have the wool pulled over our eyes.

  Rock on Unhappy!
