According to Dickies business model, corporate does not help franchisees make money, they take their money. When a corporation needs money, redesigning a menu board, selling a new computer program, and new equipment all unnecessary and it all goes through corporate channels. All of this is very expensive and much more than street value. They bleed the franchisees and seem to have no concern whether the franchisee makes money. A normal consultant helps streamline the business, helps stop the bleeding, helps increase sales, and searches for other catering income but not Dickies, their consultants are expected to be collectors. This is my opinion of what I saw when visiting a Dickies while corporate reps were there. Sad really, you can lose all your money in just months without support.

A dickeys in my town is selling for 60k. It's managed bad. Doesn't have good image here. I feel like it could be turned around though

Many franchisees have allegedly sold their barbecue restaurants to new franchisees at prices well below the initial build-out costs. This trend, coupled with mandatory purchases from Dickey's Corporation-owned stores at inflated prices, has raised suspicions of fraudulent practices aimed at enriching the corporation.
