A Recent Interaction

The following is a short conversation between Jim, the recently downsized employee and Monica, who was the product manager he worked with.

Monica: “So Jim, is it true that you’re buying a franchise?”

Jim: “It sure is, Monica. As you know, I liked my job, but this is the 4th time I’ve been let go in the last 15 years. I’m done.”

Monica: “Congratulations! What franchise are you buying?”

Jim: “I already bought it. It’s called ‘The Eggcitement Cafe.’ It’s a breakfast-only restaurant.”

Monica: “That’s great! So you bought a food franchise, huh?”

Jim: “Yes I did, and I can’t wait to open for business!”

You Speak True Words
You speak true words that I knew from your book and our conversations before I began my quest. Do your research, FDD doesn’t tell the whole story, talk to franchisees and the money isn’t everything. Having taken all this into consideration I found my franchise family and am more than happy with it. "
