Comments on: Hall of Fame Legend Reggie Jackson to Give Away SoupMan Franchise! http://everyfranchise.com/franchise-news/index.php/2009/04/hall-of-fame-legend-reggie-jackson-to-give-away-soupman-franchise/ News about franchises, franchisors, franchisees and franchising in general Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:38:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve http://everyfranchise.com/franchise-news/index.php/2009/04/hall-of-fame-legend-reggie-jackson-to-give-away-soupman-franchise/comment-page-1/#comment-12 Steve Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:24:12 +0000 http://everyfranchise.com/franchise-news/?p=76#comment-12 IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE YOUR SHIRT,Stay Away From the Soup Nazi,this is why: For everyone’s own good…stay away from Soupman. The Soup is great. But…don’t even think of it as a good investment….unless your idea of a good investment is to lose tons of $$….like hundreds of thousands. Franchisor is a horror and phony, misrepresents cost of investment and COGS, model has never worked…price point is too high to build any loyal following that will even support the operation to a break even point. Speak to the 12+ locations that already closed and the Franchisees all lost Hundreds of thousands, filed for bankruptcy and lost their homes. Didn’t know that many closed? Maybe because the Franchisor and their soldiers don’t disclose what they are required to. AND: Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one? I don’t even know where to begin so I’ll get right to the point: if you are an NYU student you can win a fridge full of The Original Soupman’s Zagat-rated soup. There’s a joke in here somewhere, but this is just too bizarre. All you have to do is log into your Facebook and “become a fan of” the Original Soup Man on the specially created New York University page. One fridge will be given away for every 100 fans added, with up to ten winners in all. You have until February 28 to make all of your wildest soup dreams come true. And because contests are really just free advertising, it should be noted that this absurd promotion is to garner publicity for the new Original SoupMan Bailout Package — a discounted new menu. Mission accomplished. Share Calvin Martin Jan 21, 2009 17:41 I love this guy’s soup. Sounds crazy but I’m sure I’ll find a good use for that frig when the soups gone!. Buck Hunter Jan 22, 2009 17:29 I’ve actually heard of this Shields character before. I believe her first name is Brandi. I had the great honor of meeting her in person once at a marketing gala in the city. She is a highly touted professional in the New York metro marketing arena. Companies were lining up to bring her on board to partner with their mgmt team. She will definitely take any company to new heights.

Dean Stattmann Jan 22, 2009 20:16 I was just thinking to myself, what would it like to own a full fridge of soup.
