Among other considerations consider WT happens if franchise changes ownership and the rules change as happened with Tim Hortons
The group of franchisees, who call themselves the Great White North Franchisee Association, say that ever since U.S.-based firm Restaurant Brands bought the iconic coffee and doughnut chain and merged it with Burger King in 2014, their costs have increased, but the new owners haven't allowed them to raise prices to recoup those costs.
They went public with their complaints earlier this year, but after working with management behind the scenes to try to address their concerns, they launched the class action lawsuit on Monday, seeking $500 million in damages.
"Since its acquisition," the statement of claim reads, "[Restaurant Brands] has used various strategies to extract more money out of the Tim Hortons franchise system at the expense of franchisees."
good luck suing them as they have the team of lawyers defending the contract they wrote and you blindly signed
