Oh, it's definitely crossed my mind.  I have another plan in mind though.  And it doesn't involve paying millions for the "good will" of a name that I don't think carries nearly as much value as they do (especially when they get another $50K for every additional store!).

You'd also have to wonder how much people would continue to believe it was the same pie/place, with none of the original family and only up to four months of "consulting"--at yet another additional cost, none of which was guaranteed.

To the extent that there was a market for the franchise, Pepe's already cornered a lot of it.  It's interesting that Pepe's themselves bid so much for Sally's, too.  I get that the perceived competition is a good thing, but again I wonder how much of that perception would remain once people got wind that Pepe's was the owner.  At least in that instance, though, I'd have more confidence that the quality of the pie would remain very high.

It will be interesting to see what happens.  I have a guess though.
