<p style=""><strong>California Law Adds New Franchisee Protections</strong></p><div style="">On Oct. 11, 2015, Gov. Jerry Brown of California signed into law a bill that would extend new protections to franchisees. This law is being called unprecedented by some observers. The new law amends California&#8217;s Business and Professional Code to require franchisors to provide a written explanation for terminating franchise agreements and to repurchase the franchisee&#8217;s assets upon termination. The new law also gives franchisees more time to correct infractions of franchise agreements and narrows legal reasons for termination.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="">(From <a href="http://nrn.com/franchising/california-law-extends-new-protections-franchisees?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=1851-franchising-weekly-rewind-2692" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nation&#8217;s Restaurant News</a>)</div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div><strong>McDonald&#8217;s Franchisee Confidence Rises Amid All Day Breakfast</strong></div><div style="">While third quarter sales for the fast food giant continued to fall, franchisees are optimistic for the fourth quarter. Third-quarter sales dropped by 0.9 percent for 29 franchisees who own 226 stores in the U.S., with the biggest decline coming from same-store sales in the south falling 1.6 percent. Even though this will be the seventh straight quarter for decline for the Golden Arches, the new all-day breakfast has improved perception for the brand and faith in franchisees.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="">(From <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/15/mcdonalds-franchisees-optimistic-about-sales-growth.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=1851-franchising-weekly-rewind-2692" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CNBC</a>)</div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Cousins Subs Donates $50,000 to Charity</strong></div><div style="">As part of Cousins Subs&#8217; &#8220;Combos For A Cure&#8221; campaign, the brand was able to present the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation with a donation of $50,000. This September, the Wisconsin-based brand contributed a percentage of all combo meal sales to the VLCF to support cancer care and research throughout the state.
