Many headlines have been generated by the unfortunate saga of the sale of non-existent Green Acres franchises by a master franchisee to up to 200 unsuspecting sub-franchisees.
One of the most tragic elements of this story is that the perpetrator of the scheme appears to have targeted immigrants with limited understanding of English who were driven by a desire to build a secure future in New Zealand based on their commitment to work hard.
Fortunately these incidents occur rarely within the New Zealand franchise sector and should not result in a knee-jerk reaction.
