In 2004 we were talked into an ATL franchise ("HURRY, send in your franchise money or we will give it to someone else in your area!"). Eight months later, they took our franchise money, weekly royalties, weekly advertising and we were bankrupt. They gave us very bad info for where to set up our business, but promised us that advertising would drive people to us in droves.
$150K later, we were broke and have still not recovered financially and probably never will. Do not send these people a dime. They will ruin you. They sent people down to "help" us occasionally (one crashed our computer while surfing porn), but were of no real help. If they tell you someone with no mechanical experience can do this (and we had at least a little), do NOT believe them. Open a Subway, it at least has a chance of success.
