re: how hard is it to buy into a franchise business

I have a friend that bought a Quizno’s franchise. He worked about 80 hours a week and still lost pretty much everything. Sold his house, got divorced, and filed bankruptcy all in under 3 years.

Quizno’s screwed him hard. They would put out so many coupons he was losing money. Quzino’s was making more money on the increased sales #s upping their franchise fee & him having to buy all his product from the franchise.
