7-Eleven franchisees call for stricter franchise rule

摘要

While business owners often want less regulation, a coalition of entrepreneurs who run 7-Eleven stores as franchisees are asking the Federal Trade Commission to "broaden and strengthen" regulation of the franchise industry, according to an announcement. The National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees (NCASEF) is calling for improved protection of franchisees alleging 7-Eleven Inc. does not fully disclose the risks of operating a 7-Eleven and has unfairly hiked the cost of store operation in recent years. The group said SEI has just announced a 24% increase in their business owner insurance policy for next year.
