1 Q Are you saying that you are a franchisee of
2 three Two men and A Truck?
3 A Yes.
4 Q Where are those located?
5 A Houston.
6 Q Do you know their addresses?
7 A No.
8 Q Does Two men and A Truck franchisor have
9 standards with which your franchises have to comply?
10 A Yes.
11 Q And do they have an enforcement procedure?
12 A It is a -- Enforcement is after noncompliance,
13 but what every franchise company does is it gives you an
14 economic model to operate on. The reason you become a
15 franchisee is because you trust that by fully and
16 completely and consistently implementing their economic
17 model, the business will perform.
18 So, a franchisee doesn't normally go into
19 business to be out of compliance. If they are out of
20 compliance, they usually like to know that so they can
21 get back in compliance because they forgot something.
22 So, most of the time the franchisor does not come in as
23 a cop inspector. They come in as a consultant to that
24 person helping them understand that following the system
25 is the better way to operate.
