Marvin Jones went onto Twitter to post something about a new small business he opened. He was excited to let the world know. His wife and Marvin opened a cake shop in Troy, MI. Just a man trying to make a little extra, and give his wife her own little business.
He Tweeted:
My wife and I are so excited that our cake shop in Troy, MI is near completion! Gonna be epic! #StayTuned pic.twitter.com/frt1t4yuqz

Then ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell used this to make some point about franchises and business, etc.
Most important part about opening a franchise is to understand that franchisor fees come off gross sales, not net sales. This franchisor, for example, takes 9% of gross sales for a marketing and royalty fee. Is the brand that valuable vs just opening a new cake shop? https://t.co/l4wX3zBKSX

Marvin wasn’t feeling Darren using his tweet as a springboard to drop some knowledge, and let Rovell know about it.
Hey smart ass ??. Don’t you think if we wanted to open up a new one, I would have? Infrastructure that’s already in place (easy) with Godly recipes, wife loves and is passionate about THIS particular shop. That’s why SHE owns it.

Wasn’t referring to your case here. Was pointing out franchise fees and the debate every new franchisee has to embrace — how much is the brand worth?

I love Marvin Jones calling Rovell a weirdo. This is just great Twitter action all around. Rovell creeping on tweets so he can spew out his BS business nonsense is creepy, and weird. Glad someone called him out.
