The troubled company behind Michel’s Patisserie, Brumby’s Bakery, Donut King and Gloria Jean’s Coffee, is being sued by the competition regulator for allegedly lying to franchisees over the financial viability of its stores.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleges that between 2015 to 2019, the Retail Food Group misled franchisees when it sold or licensed 42 loss-making stores.
