Thanks to Patricia for her advice about the franchise attorney – Mr. Franchise. I'm a disappointed franchise owner that's in the process of getting my money back because things were not disclosed properly (misrepresented) when I bought into this thing. You definitely need a legal professional on your side and it takes money. Good thing I wasn't tapped out and was able to move forward.
