Franchisees Balk At Handyman Plan.

The article reports that franchisees of Mr. Handyman International LLC have expressed concerns over the national accounts program that the franchiser is planning to launch. The program calls for the franchise to become the preferred provider of repair and maintenance work for businesses with multiple locations. Franchisees are concerned that they would have little control with the rates since it will be set by the headquarters. Some are concerned that if they refuse a job, it will be given to a subcontractor who might tarnish the brand.
