If he owned the establishment, I would say bully for him. He bought the franchise. Sonny’s still sets the rules.

Most franchise conflicts have an exit clause. Those clauses are in place for just this situation. Our local Golden Corral franchisee ditched his franchise with an escape clause and runs the place pretty much the same way but with different food distributors and a new name, of course.

Thanks for the mention. He should probably use the option you mentioned here. Sounds like an out for him.
