Problem With Franchise Owner

When a franchise is going down aim during the liquidation process is to sell off the franchise's assets to the highest bidder. In this situation, your franchise agreement becomes invalid, as the franchisor is not able to continue their obligations. Therefore, the franchise contract ceases to continue. You may have to consider selling the business

CONSIDER SELLING THE BUSINESS. Often the best answer to a franchise that is not succeeding is for the franchisee to sell the business to a third party who becomes the new franchisee for that territory. This allows the failing franchisee to terminate its obligations under the franchise agreement and under any lease.

It seems the previous answerer misunderstood your question. To identify the franchise owner you need to communicate with the company. Use the corporate contact information at http://www.corporateofficeowl.com/dickey's%20barbecue%20pit/Corporate%20Office. If you can't get through to corporate, try customer service.
