FRANCHISORS FAIL and when they do it is not always only the loss of their business and investment that the franchisees suffer. In many cases, the failed franchisors seek to blame their franchisees for failure of the system, and in doing so they sue them!

Who would have thought that a franchise as successful as Bennigan's would ever file for bankruptcy? Or Mrs Fields Cookies? Or what about Curves? - probably one of the fastest growing franchises ever. See this : CURVES: The Rise & Painful Fall of the Curves Franchise Chain

For those with no previous interest in franchising, or with poor memories, here are a few more well known franchisors who declared bankruptcy: 7-Eleven, Baker's Square, Boston Market, Ground Round, Denny's, and Burger Chef.

Ground Round was a somewhat unusual case in that many franchisees banded together and formed a cooperative to maintain operation of the system under their control and that saved them from a huge loss.

Most of these failures are history, but some are quite recent and ongoing.

I repeat: Never think that buying a franchise is a secure investment.

I also repeat that selling franchises of your successful business enables what is probably the fastest scaling possible.

If Franchisors have such an amazing business model, how can they possibly go bankrupt?

Also, why not just do better due diligence as a franchisee?

If buying a franchise is always a bad deal, does that mean selling franchises is a scam? (I guess that would be like the never-ending MLM debate)

Also, it looks like what my original post described may have been more like a Master Franchise!
