Many Red Rooster, Oporto and Chicken Treats store owners claim they are being pushed to the verge of bankruptcy as high costs and operating restrictions are forced on them by the company which controls the chains.
The complaints are contained in a submission from franchisees to the Senate’s inquiry into the Franchising Code of Conduct which was launched after Fairfax Media revealed issues at several large franchise chains including Retail Food Group, Caltex, Domino’s Pizza and 7-Eleven.
