So they tore down a Weight Watchers in my old hometown to build a Sonic (irony). My town was know for endless fastfood choices and their fries were crap and so their business dwindled. (Fries make or break you there, lol.)

Then the franchisee violated their franchise agreement buying food and supplies outside the franchiser and the franchiser shut them down.

In the end a couple years later the closed Sonic was torn down and a Panera Bread was built, lol. No loss, Sonics are terrible.
