Heard that most of The Original Soupman locations are shutting down because they can’ t make it. The story that you hear on the street that 45th St/3rd Ave, 78th Street/3rd Ave, Harlem closed because they could no longer incur all the losses from the business (six figure losses, in less than a year, each). High Cost of Products from Franchisor plus No Customers=Financial Disater!
Walk by the one’s that are open 42nd/5th, 56th/Lex, Rock Center at 48th, Trinity Place, Hanover Square…there is never anyone in them. The poor Operators lost Hundreds of Thousands of dollars while their Franchisor continues to get richer. Other locations are for sale, too. Hanover Square, owned by one of the investors of Soupman opened in January 2007 and almost immediately put their store on the block. Hasn’t sold yet. None of the stores can sell and the Franchisor denies there’s a problem! Others closed down and some even filed for bankruptcy, Scranton, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Boulder, CO, Colorado Springs, CO, Myrtle Beach, SC. Maybe Al Yeganeh and the rest of the company should start feeding their Operators along with the Charities that they claim to donate to. There will come a time when their operators are on line at one of the Soup Kitchens because they lost everything to The Original Soupman. The operators are dropping by leaps and bounds while the Franchisor hides this information and gets richer. New operators and investors are none the wiser….but for how long.

Heard the CEO said he did not have any interest in the Operators and the Management stinks.

The Operators are losing their finances and the Franchisor and its Management are Making Out Like Bandits. Many operators have already lost hundreds of thousands of dollars…in less than one year. All due to the Franchisor. How pitiful! Heard that most of The Original Soupman locations are shutting down because they can’ t make it.
