I love the quality of the products.
The products are amazing and high quality.
There are a significant number of fees and multiple price increases throughout the year on products. The majority of the products have to be purchased from Kilwins Corporate.
YesPositiveNeutralGreat job I have running this business, but sadly can’t recomm be this company to anyone anymore because of poor leadership
Love the brand, love what I get to do everyday
The leadership in the corporate office is punitive, hard of hearing, and every year becomes less and less of a support for the work that I do every day
NoNeutralNeutralExcellent brand, poor corporate morals and support, uncertain future.
The brand and products are excellent.
The corporate office has completely given up on building positive a positive franchise to franchisee relationship. The corporate office doesn't even try to support franchisees, hires incompetent reps, does not listen to franchisees feedback, and their policies keep is in the 1950's in terms of attitudes towards technology. They also allow and encourage new franchisees to open stores in locations that are not suitable for the brand. We have been with the company for 15+ years now and see the corporate office approve locations that won't turn a profit and which even undermine the profitability of established stores. The corporate office has recently changed hands so hopefully the new ownership brings positive changes.
NoPositiveNeutralLove the organization and product is superior to anyone in our industry. Awesome focus on quality and support is second to none
Great product and support. Can't be beat.
Only need to expand in technology support and understanding of beverage growth potential.
