Beyond Juice training OJT

Here's a paraphrase of their web site on training,

--------------------------------------------------

Question:
Why OJT?

Answer:
It just so happens that many of our store owners have already achieved a successful life style. They have children, families, other responsibilities. To disrupt their normal every day activities, to be sent out of town for a 2 to 3 week intensive training session would create a great hardship. Beyond Juice comes to you. We arrange our schedule to provide the necessary foundation for you to build a successful operation. We assist in selecting wholesale suppliers, hiring and training of the personnel, handling and establishing protocol, merchandising, the whole scope. If we fail to train you properly, then how can we expect you to function in your new endeavor. Each and every store owner represents a satellite. A living, breathing entity that is ingrained in our corporate culture.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was trained so poorly the first time so even Beyond Juice decided to train me again. The trainer, when I followed up on his store it was only grossing three hundred a day after being in business a year.

Beyond Juice California cease and Desist order

I wish I had found all this on the internet, It would have prevented me from investing and loosing my life savings, 401k, our home, the bank a small business loan loosing their money, and a year out of my life working my but off on a business doom to fail.

Morris of OLD Inc talked a good game but fulfilled absolutely none of his verbal commitments to me and it took 9 months of haggling for Beyond Juice to fulfill theirs.

Beyond Juice franchise

I want to make it clear that my concern is about the Beyond Juice Corporation, not the hard working store owners. They all provide an excellent product and service.

It is the Corporation that ripped me off, took my life savings, my 401k, my retirement. Here is an instance where Morrie screwed me over. The following is a paraphrase of one thing they promise on the corporate web site.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
How do I find a location?
Answer:
Location is probably the area that Beyond Juice excels in more than any. Beyond Juice Inc. utilized the services of the company's founder to effectively, not only to find a suitable location, but to engage in each and every one of the multiple proprietary steps to provide a location as close to perfection in this area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The location they found for me would not generate more than two hundred dollars a day no matter what I did. No matter how many coupns I passed out. No matter how many free lunches I gave out.

The Beyond Juice Corporation is a scam

I am a former store owner, they cost me my life savings, our house, a bankrupcy, and many liens, garishments and levies from the state and IRS.

Here's a link that shows several states agree with me.

My main goal is this blog is to save eithers from this pain. And other former owners to share their experience.
