For those that have a franchise, what kind of capital are you making after all the franchise fees are paid?

To Barb, who would like to open a store like Dream Dinners: Where are you located? Please feel free to contact me if you read this again. I'm happy to fill you in on my experience so far.

I am interested in learning more about becoming a franchise owner of one of these types of stores. The concept is amazing and would be definitely a direction I'd be interested in going.

I own the Reno (South), NV Dream Dinners store, and just opened 2 months ago. Because Dream Dinners is so commited to children, families and community on the corporate level, we have taken this philosophy and tried to enhance it on a local level. This is what I feel will distinguish us from all the competitors that have come after Dream Dinners, who is the originator of the meal assembly concept. In just 2 short months, we have impacted so many families either just trying to get dinner on the table more consistently or families helping families with the gift of food in times of need. Dream Dinners on a whole is about much more than just the good food; it's about community and giving back as well.

What I have not seen in this post disturbs me. Last week the New York Times ran an article talking about a meeting between President Bush and Prime Minister Blair just prior to the attack on Iraq in which it was reported that Bush acknowledged no weapons of mass distruction and postulated scenarios to justify an invasion of Iraq. Why has the electronic media ignored this issue?

We went to Dream Dinners for a while but then Super Suppers opened near us and wow, their food is absolutely hands down fabulous!!!! and they have parties, appetizers, and wine.

SuperSuppers has truly brought the family back together again...yes, in Jacksonville, FL!!! I've enjoyed the recipes that I've prepared for the family dinner table. Because I do work late on some occassions my husband, Donald, can and does occassionaly prepare the meals for the family. This is the benefit of Super Suppers...Wife, Husband and Kids can all take part in the preparation.
One special note: Super Suppers has also played a part in our health. In a two month period I have been able to lose weight and appreciate not having to follow a strict diet.
Super Suppers is welcome in our home anytime!!!

Dream Dinners is long overdue. It's a wonderful time to spend with friends, get to know others, and bring home great tasting meals.

I go to Let's Dish in Ashburn, VA. The food is fabulous, and we save a lot of money each month using them. I am a lifer! I only wish they came up with this idea years ago.

We opened Dream Dinners Fresno in October of 2004. We've helped so many busy families get back to their dinner tables. Our guests enjoy the ease of Dream Dinners and get the satisfaction of saying they made it themselves. This is the smart and fun way to cook!

I want to learn more - what a fabulous idea!! I know I would use this service at least weekly. Would love to get back to the family dinners and getting home stressed from work does not make for planning and cooking time. Is there one in my area - South Jersey?

I am a customer of Dream Dinners and feel this is one of the solutions to families busy lives. We also get to try new dishes that we may have never made before. The stress is taken away for dinnertime in our family!

OH MY GOODNESS! I go to the Let's Dish in Baltimore, MD!! It has brought our family back to the table! My family would rather eat our "Let's Dish" food than go out to dinner or get carry-out! The food is FABULOUS!

I own the Dream Dinners in Greensboro NC and guests in my store love this way of feeding their families at home. They get a great variety of dinners to serve and save a lot of time and frustration doing it.
