Sprock Continues Fight To Vindicate Company and Continue Growth of Portfolio

ATLANTA, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 5, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment given by the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, in 2009, that states Martin Sprock and Daryl Dollinger, creators of Mama Fu's Asian House, provided a fully functional operating system to franchisees, promoted and marketed the brand to the best of its ability, provided exemplary services to support the success of its franchisees and did not create a false impression of the restaurants' potential business and profitability.  

The plaintiffs, a small group of franchisees, under the direction of their lawyer attempted to discredit and undermine the brand with little or no regard for the brand's hardworking franchisees, the corporate employees who have worked diligently on behalf of the brand and the truth.  As for the claims of fraud, the court found that such representations were either not false, lacked justifiable reliance or did not result in damage.

"For more than three years, we have been in something of a cage match where a slew of adversaries have assembled in the ring to go up against us," explains Daryl Dollinger, president of Raving Brands. "With the help of former Governor Roy Barnes and DLA Piper, we have sent a message that hard-working franchisors should no longer be the punching bags for disgruntled franchisees.  We feel we have delivered concepts that the majority of franchisees have turned into successful livelihoods and fast casual contenders in their local markets, and continue to do so with brands like Monkey Joe's Parties and Play and The Flying Biscuit Cafe."
