Mary Williams+FollowFranchise lawsuit shakes up Dickey’s BarbecueA Houston franchisee is taking Dickey’s Barbecue to court, claiming the company pushed him into using certain vendors for construction and financing—choices he says led to major financial losses and a half-finished restaurant. Dickey’s, based in Dallas, is pushing back hard, insisting franchisees have total freedom to pick their own partners and that these vendors weren’t even on their radar. The lawsuit is asking for over $1 million in damages and accuses Dickey’s of fraud and negligence. This raises big questions about how much control franchise owners really have. Anyone else surprised by how messy franchise relationships can get? #Food #HoustonNews #DickeyBarbecue00Share
