That's just one article of MANY..."Google" it because its totally worth it to be informed about this one, and since this is from an actual franchise owner, you may want to check out a story from a "reputable" news source.
There are also several stories out there about Cold Stone providing "exaggerated" business plans and essentially setting their franchise owners up for failure.

Yes...found the recent news on the ColdStone Creamery franchises interesting. Last year I had a franchise owner from Feasterville Pa come in and visit the class. He was pretty positive about his experiences at that time.
