Survey lang.
During the franchise expo, I was enticed to invest my savings on one franchise.
But due to the hassle of getting permits from Government and Mall Owners, my wife and I decided not to pursue our ambition to leave the corporate world.
Blessing in disguise, those who availed the franchise(s) did not do well.

I will not mention the franchises names but below are the products that they sell.

1. Takoyaki
2. Mango Grahams
3. Fries with Drinks on a Cup

Possible reasons

1. Those takoyaki's are not authentic. Taste is different and the ingredients are mostly vegetables.
Original takoyaki has a strong flavor of squid. Still love the old "samurai" takoyaki.

2. Not advisable during cold weather months. Price is too much for just a simple mango, ice cream and graham.

3. Taste & Price. Although the competitor fries is a bit pricey, people specially children still like the taste and texture of the fries made by Potato Corner.
