There is a reason why the number of stores has barely increased over the last ten years, while other franchises have boomed. CALL the failed franchisees listed in the disclosure, and CALL some of the existing franchisees to get the true picture of these people running Allied Brands. Ask why new stores are fitout with used equipment (from other failed franchisees). Ask why Baskin Robbins franchisees have been ordered to raise prices in the face of an Australian recession, when their imported ice cream has actually dropped in price by over 35%! Don't join these people without a complete investigation. I think you'll be shocked.
