Van Deadlines

Wow! I am really impressed with the new logo and precise standards! This is exactly what is needed to bring us up to the next level! My only concern is the timing or ‘deadline’ for our vans. Personally, I have a full size 2005 Chevy Express – but it has windows in two side doors on the passenger side. I hope there will be allowances for this because to try & trade now would be a disaster – cargo vans depreciate fast so there’s negative equity. Perhaps deadlines could be set to upgrade to the exact van specs based upon our own franchise anniversary – in the meantime, we could still purchase the new logo packages. In my prior experiences with owning two Subway franchises, there were (and still are!) many ‘upgrades’ which are required. Most recently, they have a new Tuscan decor package which is costing owners between 30-50k to install. Deadlines are based upon individual franchise anniversary dates and all costs may be financed through the corporate office with no qualifying. I am excited about these changes – someday we will look back at this time and realize this was a great turning point. I am only concerned about my almost new van at this point!
