Franchiser Ed Bailey vs. McDonald's Corp.


From a D Magazine Article: When restaurateur Ed Bailey filed suit last year against the giant McDonald's Corp., he was living up to his reputation as a strong-willed business pioneer. One of the nation's largest McDonald's owner/operators, Bailey has succeeded by calling his own shots on everything from eateries' decor to employee-training practices. The rest of it here

Now Ed has put up all of his 63 McDonalds up for sale. Here is the update. 

Basically McDonalds agreed to buy all of Ed's stores, but also gave him the option to sell them individually for more. I guess Ed wants to create his own Patrizio's franchise. There are now 4 in the metroplex.
