Soup Nazi Losing Franchise Owners

Sept 13 2007 NY Post article reports many Original Soup Man (aka "Soup Nazi" of the television series Seinfeld fame) franchisees are not even lasting a year. Reports that out of 40 sold, 8 are already shuttered. Those who have followed this franchise may recall skepticism voiced more than 2 years ago about this concept; among other things, the idea that there would be a lot of repeat customers for expensive ($7 to 11 per 12oz) soup.

Turns out, they were correct.
