But this time it 'will be different' - we learnt from our experiences and all that stuff

Indeed.

Just like Hugh Fletcher learning from the near death experience of Fletcher Challenge in 1992/93 to load FCL up with debt again in late 1990s to experience the real death of Fletcher Challenge group.

One thing about NZ management - they all think they are smarter than the last lot.

Isn't that how they got the job - by being smarter? (Following daddy doesn't count)

Nice one bal

It is a problem with franchises.West Australian was a very good business.YUM pulled the plug on it because he brought a 25% holding in Dominoes.
Makes it hard to sell when you don't have a "licence".Goodwills,lease commitments ,valuations all go out the door.
The worst one I read about was Gough and Gilmour losing the Catipillar New South Wales franchise.Catipillar write in all agreements that the frachise can end with them giving 6months notice "without reason."
One would cry "fowl".!!!

Good story while it lasted ... reminded us of the history of NZ companies going into Australia and stuffing it up and how 'this time is different' is really a fallacy .... and somehow even Hugh Fletcher got in on the act

Well - it do fill up a bit of the Sunday paper short of news

I wont take that personally

Still haven't tried CJ, more of a BurgerFuel fan - they actually seem healthy - from what I can tell with CJ, they put far to much sugary sauce on a pattie high in saturated fat.

HOwever, for there target market, I rate CJ a buy. Just look at those turn over figures! $2.3m over 3 months from 3 stores - $63k per week. BurgerFuel would probably average in the mid $30k (though they would have smaller, cheaper shops)
