Retail Food Group on Watch Zone, page-16

Pretty sure you aren't understanding this......they have sold off the master franchise for germany to someone else just like dominos usa sold off the master franchise dominos pizza to DMP for australia japan et al.......this means the person who sold it ...ie dominos usa makes negigible amounts of money from DMP operations in those country and DMP make most of the money........this will be the same for gloria jean germany for RFG.

Without knowing the terms of the arrangement generally a master franchise sale will require the master franchisee to pay an upfront fee and a very small portion of revenues to RFG........they state they are going to open 40 stores........they would probably have to open 2000 to 4000 to offset the 200 stores lost in Australia for rfg IMHO
