Meal Assembly Watch

Not according to the Franchise Pundit who has this to say about the 5 franchises he wouldn’t get involved in:

The Dinner Station/Meal Assembly: The industry is already seeing a high number of closures; I’d do this perhaps without a franchise.

A year ago the industry was starting to gain inroads and become a popular spot with busy working families. Six months ago, the industry seemed red hot with stores popping up all over the place, with 2-3 competitors all vying to be the first to open their doors in a particular city.

Are we now seeing a cooling down period?
Did it peak?
Is the love gone?
