Agreed, but this was not the mentality before this forum was available for operators to talk to each other.
There's still 1 franchisor that has their franchisees over a barrel and happily charge more for their stock than anywhere else.

You natural response would be to be annoyed, but it's the ultimate compliment when a competitor copies either your idea or text. :D

It shows that they think what you have written is better than theirs.

(who was it)?

I wouldn't worry about it Glenn, I get it frequently in our Rodeo Wrecks business. It used to annoy me but now I figure if they have to copy me then they are no threat really.

One to think about.

I know somebody who has converted a pringles machine to vend tennis balls in Ireland so it can be done!

Well in answer to your question i think they are all followers?

From my little knowledge of the mini can market i got the impression it was Snack a can that started the mini can concept? So by definition they are the "trail blazers" and the rest are followers.
