Frullati Store- Operated by Kahala Corp

Hi - I just came across a franchise for sale. Owner is sick and retiring. The place is sold well below the other franchise in the very busy Mall. I like the concept of Fresh sandwich and smoothie since sound more healthier.. However, I am not very familiar with this particular Franchise. So far I know I need to pay 6% for the net sale to them. I know know yet what kind of supporting tools/advertisement/marketing they offer.

If you are familiar with them please let me know..

Hello,
This is nice. But I think in the way you define the topic, 1z0-042 it is good but not in the way it should be.. You start it good and cover all the things 1z0-043 but in the middle you leave the actual topic and did not focus on the specific topic you started.. But over all its good. And I am a student and did different ……………. 1z0-047 These are good but taught as well. Hope more topics will be 1z0-050 discuss from your side. Have a good day.

Frullati - A Kahala Cold Stone Concept

Welcome fvm3506,

I took this off of our news article section and put it into the forum discussions since it looks like you are trying to tap into a discussion with the community on what they've heard about Frullati.

So now you have a whole forum thread that you head up devoted to Frullati.

Of course, you probably are aware of the recent merger of Kahala and Cold Stone Creamery. Let's see if someone out there knows about this concept of Kahala.

Thank you.. I am learning a

Thank you.. I am learning a lot from this site.

Cold Stone - Kahala

I cannot warn you enough - STAY AWAY from anything associated with Cold Stone or Kahala!! They are one of the biggest bunch of crooks in the industry and I am sure plenty of others will agree. Some call them the Enron of Ice Cream and I could not agree more. They will take you for everything you have - and then some. I am speaking from experience.

Do your research

If you look at all of the Cold Stones that are for sale out there you will notice a trend - Almost all of them are listed for well below what the owner invested. A lot of reasons for selling are "health issues" or owner wants out. Not a good sign.

THATS THE SAME THING UPS STORE OWNERS ARE SAYING

LOL UPS Store owners say: selling for health issues...selling to persue something else...selling for personal reasons...moving to another state and need to sell...decided out of the blue to retire...lol lol lol

Don't know if I should LOL or CRY

It is sad. Most of those health issues were probably casued by the stress.

Why would anyone buy a...

Cold Stone Creamery, Maggie Moos, Marble Slab, Quizno's, Ebay Drop-Off Store franchise of any flavor, UPS Store, Make Dinners to cook at home concept of any kind or any of the more ridiculous unproven concepts that some Donny Deustche wannabe marketing wunderkind cooks up, when you could invest in proven concepts in proven channels that have been around for years? These ground floor opportunities are just a step above the buyers own grave. How many times does someone have to post that due diligence is the only true path to franchise salvation only to be rebuked by failed franchisees that post on this site? Get real and get with the program or risk your financial health at your own peril.

Could DD protect MBE franchisees?

UPS bought the franchise and changed it to The UPS Store, an unproven concept according to the previous guest. Many like to throw around the due diligence phrase, what due diligence could those MBE owners have done to foresee this type of change? Knowing now what can happen, what due diligence can someone do to prevent them from buying into a successful franchise system that could potentially be destroyed during the term of their FA?

Imploding...

Cold Stone Creamery is imploding. And that's a view from the inside.

Could not agree more BUT

This thrad has been moved here, to our government reguation and advocacy forum. It is not related to this forum thread about what readers know and think about Frullati Store.

Imploding...continued
