PLAY N TRADE Franchise Registration Revoked

videofranchises200When FranchisePick.com asked IS PLAY N TRADE A GREAT FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY?, we got an earful… and 100+ comments.

According to Unhappy Franchisee, the California Department of Corporations has issued their opinion of the video game retail franchisor Play N Trade, and it ain’t good.

In fact, California is revoked the unit registration, denied the master franchise registration renewal and is recommending  heavy fines and penalties for alleged deceptive practices and violations of CA franchise law.

Play N Trade Franchise, Inc. has 60 days to respond to the complaint.

    I have been in many stores in several states and its the same thing everywhere I go. Some poor owner who is hundreds of thousands of dollar in debt, working their tails off, and barely breaking even.
