We have operated as a franchisee for several years and our contract with the franchise is up. We are considering going independant because we have grown apart from the franchise both in philosophy and in our business/personal relationship.
My concern is that we have built a good reputation in our area and with times being as lean as they are it may not be a good time to rock the boat. My partner assures me that our customer base would remain solid as they know my face and name and as long as I am still highly visible they will know that it is the same operation with a diff name on the door and a more creative menu.
Other than our dough, none of our basic ingredients would change, and I am still trying to nail down the dough recipe/procedure we would use so there would not be a dramatic change there.
Have any of you think tankers done this transition and if so, what was your experience?
