If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor’s management by contacting Deven Klein, Director, Legal/HR Department at 888.835.1212, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
