I had the "Master Franchise" for Syracuse, NY, meaning a lot of money was put up so I had exclusivity for a big city to develop Dunkin Donuts shops. I had an aggresive opening schedule of new shops though to maintain the master franchise (7 shops in 5 years), but the staffing issues stopped me in my tracks PERIOD. Finding managers and decent kids was so hard I couldn't expand and thought I would have a heart attack before I turned 40.

I sold out and opened up an Internet biz. in Silicon Valley.
