JM Family has destroyed the Budget Blinds Family.
It was great before JM Compnsies bought it.
They take more and more and give less and less. They changed the highly successful and desirable budiness model to ensure the devaluation of every single franchise and owner’s ability to make good profits.
NoNegativeDisapprovesIt WAS a great franchise, but Andrew Skehan is quickly ruining it. He needs to be let go.
Fellow franchise owners
New corporate leadership
NoNeutralNeutralA once great and treasured community of business owners and management staff is no longer an attractive business model for the average franchisee.
The volume and assortment of products available and offered in this system.
The family culture has been replaced by a corporate culture - The new FDD Fee structure and high cost of products makes my business non competitive in my area.
NoNegativeNeutralNew corporate ownership has completely changed the previously successful franchisee model. The new ownership has lost the trust of the franchise cohort to the point that franchisees are looking to abandon a sinking ship and recover their business lost value.
We like the owner/operator model that a franchise provides.
The new ownership that has become excessively greedy and damaging the existing franchisee model that has been very successful.
NoNegativeDisapprovesGreat experience in first several years until founders sold. Next 2 owners only about squeezing $ out of franchises without much concern for making system better prepared for growth.
Good work life balance. Good business model once you get trained by your colleagues.
Corp training and support all provided by people that have never done the job and probably aren’t even capable of it. Corp level management trying to squeeze every $ out of top performing franchises driving them to likely exit system and go independent. No cost advantages over independent competitors.
