@TRUmav When the location on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill shut down, it was the lowest performing unit in their system (or so I heard second hand). Sounds like a bloodbath.

Fantastic turnout in Dublin! Had a big group and we were joined by members of the TCU band. #GoHeels

@BubbaUNC I’m in!

One of the best commencement speeches I’ve ever seen. Well worth 16 minutes of your time today.

[Dante 🇺🇸 @DanteTheDon]

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.

Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.

Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.

Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.

Watch the whole thing.

@sodacitysimpson I’m enjoying my single-brand era for now🤣

Menchie’s seems to be a solid brand if I was going to buy one

[Connor Groce @ConnorGroce]

I agree with Pat here and it’s one of the biggest surprises (to me at least) I’ve seen in franchising.

There are tons of well documented failures in the yogurt space.

But, by this point, the industry has “shed its skin” leaving less competition in a space with enduring demand.

[The Franalyst @thefranalyst]

Frozen yogurt is definitely back

Franchises are growing again, and I've seen a few independent shops raising $$ off the back of crazy 4-wall numbers

Tough category though, buyers beware

Saw this tweet from @sodacitysimpson a couple weeks ago. Thought “yeah I’ll get pet insurance one day.”

Yesterday, my Marley was diagnosed with cancer.

I’m grateful to be able to cover it, but kicking myself for not paying the $50/month instead.

Get the pet insurance folks…

[Cole Simpson @sodacitysimpson]

Smallest amount of money that impacted my life?

Pet insurance, cost us $50 a month

My dog got cancer and we were able to get him treatment because of it

All in cost us about 1k, gave him 2 more years

Without it would of been 25k and in no world could we have afforded that

We've never seen a broker note like this.

As @billDA puts it:

"Either this broker really means it, or is mortgaging their credibility and flushing it all down the toilet."

@girdley, @BillDA, and @connorgroce dig in.

[Acquisitions Anonymous Podcast @acquanon]

A dog grooming business with 35% margins...

We think this is about $1M overpriced.

Can you spot the problem?

Socialism is the theory that if you abolish profit, bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority.

Owning a franchise is what people concerned about AI eliminating their job should do.
