I had just sold my first company and wanted a new business. Didn't feel like building a business from the ground up so I wanted to buy a cheap franchise.

How much did you lose on the Pizza Pizza? I'm hoping 5 figures, but hope it wasn't over 100 grand.

If your networth is that high then you've got plenty of time to figure out what to do in your freetime to make you happy. Something your passionate about.

125k, it really wasn't a big deal but I was so fucking depressed that I failed. Most of my free time is spent between hydroponics, shitposting, working out, archery, cooking, or playing vidya.

This. In fact I say more rich people and celebs post here than anywhere else. Why? Because they are anonymous and can be themselves and converse and express themselves like normal people, something they cannot do in real life or on most social platforms. It's also the most lax when it comes to content and has a high userbase.

Nope, franchisors own the brand and get paid royalties from the business, I bought the sign from them in the form of startup costs. It's mine now, and I'm never giving it back. I keep the sign as a remembrance that I'm not as smart as I think. When you start a franchise with LC, they make you go to Detriot and talk to the CEO and shit and give you a ton of gear (hats, pens, duffle bags, notebooks, shirts, watches) all that is LC branded. I threw the other shit away but I keep the sign. Also, it's too heavy to move and I don't want to pay anymore.

Price is my problem with them. I could deal with them being shit if they were as cheap as the pizza is compared to other places. But they’re not.

LC's business model is to be cheaper and faster. This works with pizza because it's just dough, cheese, and sauce which are all cheap as fuck so it can work without completely destroying the quality.

This model cant be carried over to wings though without cheaping out on the sauce. It's just chicken and sauce and you can't cheap out on meat without decreasing the actual amount of meat so they cheap out on the sauce and it tastes like shit. Also, it sits in the heaters FOREVER because no one orders them.
