Alot of franchises are out there to scam people like you into paying for a new location. When they're done exploiting you into bankruptcy, the company buys you out for a fraction of what you're worth and takes over.

So that way they get a free location built, make money off of selling you the franchise, make money off of whatever you sold while you were active, and then inherit a fully functioning business for pennies on the dollar.

Example A : The UPS Store. Did you know that in alot of locations its cheaper to call UPS directly to come pick up your package than to go through a UPS store? Thats because franchisees don't get special rates or anything. Its a total scam. I saw a good friend of mine go through it and get burned big time. He lost over 100k opening up a store.
