In this episode, we delve into the business model of Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchise and examine some of the latest franchise complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As the FTC seeks input from franchisees on the fairness of franchise regulations, numerous Dickey's franchisees have come forward to voice their concerns. Dickey's Barbecue Pit, a family-owned and operated brand spanning four generations, was once on the rise. However, in recent years, the franchise has experienced a decline in total unit count and a significant number of transfers and reacquisitions by the franchisor, as disclosed in their franchise document from 2019 to 2021. 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.
