Episode 124: Major Brands Getting Caught Up In Ongoing Political Battles

from The Working Lunch · host Align Public Strategies

The entry-level business model is under another high-profile attack this week as longtime progressive activist Abigail Disney has jumped into the fray calling into question the business practices of the company that bears her name. We’ll discuss the company’s response and what impact it may have on the broader issue. And Subway is in the news this week and it’s not good. It’s not their business model under attack but their way of doing business - especially when it comes to the treatment of their franchisees. We’ll take a look at how all that fits into the broader narrative of the franchise business model. And the looming ICE raids that the President has been chortling about for weeks seems to have underwhelmed. Even major national brands are pushing back on it. We’ll visit that issue and see how brands are reacting. We’ll talk about those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
