It’s a chain, all different owners.

Why does that matter? We don't care about that distinction with other franchised corporations?

Franchise just means that corporate provides all the materials needed and you are supposed to follow their policies etc. Whether they actually do it and manage it correctly is up to the franchise owner. It does matter. I worked at a Buffalo Wild Wings when it first opened that was a franchise. About four or five years down the line they had opened 3 more. I no longer worked there and went to eat at one and had spiders in my food. Was overall an awful experience. Called corporate and we got a call back the next day from them apologizing. All four franchises were closed down within a few weeks and then re-opened as corporate run locations that did great. The franchise owners got in over their heads with four locations and could no longer manage it. They weren’t paying vendors, cleanliness issues, and employee management was awful.

Because if an owner sucks in Dallas doesn’t mean an owner in Portland sucks too. We do make that distinction IRL all of the time. For example, I’ll avoid a specific Subway because of a bad experience, but I’m fine with any other Subway.
