There are still some missing datas. If you guys have any experiences or inputs about these whole franchising thing, we will really appreciate it if you could share it with us. :)

Maybe I should also organize a poll about these three coffee companies. But for now, may I ask you guys which among these three companies you like best? Not limited to the datas above, but your experience as a consumer.
