Bring in a year round product to keep my stores open all year, so I can keep trained staff.
Name brand that brings in customers. They are getting better with technology. Finally started to bring in other products for after tax season. They need to bring more products like so to bring in more customers into my stores.
They seem to price everything where they get paid first. They also price new things where they take a fat fee off the top and the franchisees fight for crumbs that are left. Also they priced to get into loan program where we had to make $10k investment into the program before we could do it. I already invested in that brand. I am not doubling down. Glad I did not as that was a huge fiasco.
Need to keep small team at HQ, keep and expand IT people and marketing staff, get rid of compliance, training and DM departments.
