We are truly saddened to hear about negative experiences any employees had working with this independent franchise operator. We take these allegations very seriously and it’s imperative that our independent franchise operators adhere to our company’s core brand values and standards. We are conducting an internal review of this independent franchise and will take appropriate action.
