I've heard and read a lot about turf wars between operators in the past - especially around the Brighton area. Nonetheless, the question is still open:Originally Posted by Gus
What mechanism do you suggest Ceroc Enterprises Ltd has to use it's dominant position in the UK to gain a monopoly for its local franchisees over local competition?
Given that outside of London, it's Ceroc franchisee vs. a local independent operator, how does the Ceroc franchisee use the muscle of his/her parent organisation to gain a competitive advantage? I'm honestly interested in the answer, please. All I can think of at the moment is Mike Ellard sending Bradders off with a minibus full of beefy taxi dancers to some rival operators venue, all equipped with baseball bats. But somehow I think that's not quite their style.
So it's an honest question and it isn't remotely answered by dark mutterings about "what you see on the surface" or who I should speak to, to get a "REAL view", or the "real facts about what has and is going on ...". If you have something to say on the subject then please, say it.
And by the way, just because a subject was discussed before I started to post here doesn't mean I haven't read the threads.
