A group of 7-Eleven franchiseessued the company for discriminates against South Asian immigrant franchisees.They are not seeking any monetary gain, but a court declaration that 7-Eleven has violated state and federal laws in relation to its treatment of franchisees.Though the company denied any accsuation.
A central argument in the complaint is that 7-Eleven is engaging in churning.At franchisee's side,they thought that franchisors are attempting to turn a profit without concern for franchisees.At another side,the company is concerned with their brand and they want to make sure their reputation and their brand is kept in the way that they view it.And some franchisees were broke the law and the agreement such as coupon fraud behavior.
Unfortunately,in this case,the plaintiffs will not be able to find evidence of any systematic move to force franchisees to sign over their businesses.
In addition to accusations of churning,the company is also charged for its behavior of overstepping its boundaries as franchisor in two aspects: violating franchisees' privacy and excessive controling rendered them employees.This kind of charge is common.
Moreover plaintiffs claim the company tries to force them out of the system and reduce their ability to succeed as entrepreneurs.But the company denied this and is proud of its diversity in fanchisees.
In most time,franchisors can benefit from franchisees' success.But in certain time,their request will be opposite.
