Today's Blind Items - The Franchise King

There is an A list celebrity who seems like they are incredible in business. They are always bragging about owning this business or that business and how they buy low and sell high or never sell at all. It wasn't that long ago that the A lister had the opportunity to purchase well over 100 franchise locations of a certain restaurant. The reason they had the opportunity instead of someone else is that what our A lister does is blackmail various owners or threaten them or anything they can do and then make the owner sell to them at ire sale prices. Most franchisees will attend meetings or conferences where they get together with other franchisees and reps from whatever company/restaurant they work with. Our A lister always attends these and everyone loves that the A lister attends and hangs out with them and just acts like any other franchisee. But, the A lister is always looking for information/gossip and then just goes after what they want. I'm shocked no one has called out the A lister for this.
