WHAT'S CAUSING THE ALLIED BRANDS ICE CREAM SHORTAGE? NO VANILLA???

Several current franchisees have written and attached copies of messages from Allied Brands - showing that widespread shortages of ice cream, supplies, and other items continue to plague the franchisees. Along with all their other problems.

There seems to be no rational explanation of why the last six months have seen supplies dropping to critical levels. Today however shops in Sydney were told NO VANILLA IS AVAILABLE!

NO VANILLA???

How are shops supposed to make cakes?

NO VANILLA???

Speculation is running that there is only one reason for the prolonged ice cream shortage. It's related to Allied Brands prolonged bleeding of cash, with cash on hand slashed by over 50% at the half-yearly report. And with revenues dropping, franchisees failing, and Allied taking over company operation of these failed stores, is it possible that Allied Brands is running out of cash?

What else explains the continual shortages of product.

NO VANILLA???
