They sold me a Franchise in Dallas, Texas in March 2016. I spent $39,000 for the franchise fee and $10,000 for site admin . Nobody knows what the site admin fee was for, but they did not help me find a location . I had a location in mind (Town East Mall) and they did not help me with verifying GGP (the mall owner) sales figures of the sotres in the malls. (Malls are dying but this one told me they were thriving). The $10,000 fee went to Cone-It which is a 2nd company owned by a franchisee of theirs named Eric Ciancaglini. Eric lied to me about how well he was doing during my due diligence . It came out that he has been losing money. Other franchisees before me failed and they never failed to mention their names or contact information. Then it came down to timing. on their website they claim : "Once a Franchise Agreement has been signed and necessary permits are secured, it usually takes 4-8 weeks to get open." That is completely wrong. They did not even have a standard design. It took me 8 months to open, considering all preparations, invlved, mall construction timing, mall requirements, etc. They are completely lying. In Texas the laws are more lenient and it took 8 months to open. On the website they claim Kono is going viral. The closing of stores is theo nly thing going viral. They never helped with advertising and they provided little support. They claim they waive the 2% advertising but nobodoy knows about this product so you have to spend 3X more to advertise and educate the public. Lastly, the biggest part of the scam is that they sold me EXPIRED FOOD PRODUCT , 8 months expired. When confronted they claimed it was because of the food distributor did not check their inventory but when I asked Eric in Philly he said they knew about it for a long time and that the baker said expire bread is okay to serve. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT !?! My customers complained about the staleness of the cones. They shipped cones to me in 2 days and they intentionally shipped cones in a FedEx box, not in a food box and they were still expired. The criminal who tried to trick me forgot to remove the labels off of the sleeves of the cones !!! These guys are crook, stay away from this franchise. Liars, thieves, and crooks.
