Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I had a Midas until Midas opened next door to me. I had run my shop for years and then all of a sudden Midas had a company shop sixty feet from my door. When I complained to Midas they gave me three choices, buy their shop off them for over one hundred thousand dollars(they would not tell me exactly how much), stay and compete against them, or give away my business and leave the building. They told me I had 24 hours to make up my mind. I tried to slow them down but after eight days I got a fax from them saying "Vacate the Premises" and we had no choice. They had already made sure no one had any money because they would not advertise and they went ballistic if you asked them where all the advertising money had gone.

So we didn't have the money to fight and we didn't want to be involved with that scum any more. I was told by other franchisees that I was not the only one that got the treatment. Dandenong did and they say almost every shop in South Australia did and some of the West Australian's left because of the same thing. But even if you didn't have one of their shops next door you were not wanted. Lose money and close the doors, give away your shop for anything, let them take it off you for almost nothing. All the people that were there for years, good people that new what they were doing, all of a sudden they were in trouble.
