Franchisees Sue Dream Dinners For $30M
MANHATTAN (CN) - Fifteen franchisees claim Dream Dinners Inc. defrauded them by selling "home meal preparation" franchises that it falsely claimed would earn them $30,000 a month. Among the misrepresentations, plaintiffs claim, was defendant Stephanie Allen's showing them these misleading numbers, and saying, "in substance, 'I know the lawyers say I'm not supposed to show this to you, but if you write fast, you can get it all down.'" They demand $30 million.
