Dunkin Brands, partner with Allied Brands Ltd (ABQ) in the Australian operation of Baskin Robbins, has been ordered by American courts to disclose their alleged illegal tactics used to drive franchisees out of business and steal their locations for resale.
ALLIED BRANDS TACTICS LEARNED FROM AMERICAN PARTNERS EXPOSED HERE
A steady stream of franchisees
from Detroit to Brooklyn to Ohio have told similar tales of being pushed out by Dunkin' at fire-sale prices, many losing their life savings when they refused the Dunkin offer.
Similar stories have come from Australian Baskin Robbins franchisees who have similar problems with this rogue franchisor. On Ocober 4, 2007, Dunkin' Director of Operations Len Hohmann had warned fellow Dunkin' execs: "moving forward, please do not email... and let's communicate by phone." Similar instructions have been given by Allied Brands management to middle management employees, who are warned to avoid responding to any franchisee complaints via email, only by telephone.
To the writer who's expressed concern about their employment at an ABQ-associated company, please be assured. . . . .and thanks for the informations.
