It’s a great-looking site for sure, and …..wait; you can’t pull it up either? I wonder why?

So much for freedom of speech Down Under.

Of course, the USA has some angry franchisees too….and some of them even set-up angry websites.

It seems that this Australian franchisor is requesting that it’s 150+ franchisees spend some money to re-fit their stores. They want a new look.

This reminds me of all of those “disgruntled,” (I really despise that goofy word) franchisees who had to pay $50,000+ each to re-fit their Mailboxes Etc. stores when UPS purchased the entire franchise. Things went from red and blue, to brown.

$50,000 sure sounds like a lot of money to spend in a lousy economy. Right?
