In order to provide equal disclosure and all info, I felt obliged to post the reply letter received in an email yesterday from Sonny's concerning the matter in the OP. Mr. Davis maintains that the reason he did not comply with the updated contractual mandates in 2007 was due to not wanting to sell alcohol. All in all, and having heard both sides of the issue, it appears to me that Davis wanted out of a contract so that he could have total say-so over his business affairs and he and Sonny's parted company amicably as far as he is concerned.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email and your concern for the Tifton closure. We hope to retain your patronage and provide you with all the information regarding this issue.
This location did not close because the servers were wearing inappropriate uniforms or religious emblems were found in the restaurant. We respect the rights and liberties of not only our guests, but our franchisees as business owners, to practice any religion they choose. As I am sure you can understand, as a chain, we do have policies and system standards in place to ensure that we as a company are non-partisan, both politically and religiously.
This location was closed after the license agreement was not renewed by the franchisee owner in December of 2007. Many extensions and additional opportunities were granted to the franchisee. System standards that apply to the entire chain were not met by this franchisee on several occasions and unfortunately, this location had to close.
As I am sure you know, Sonny’s is a good community partner and responsible corporate citizens. We will continue to be that for the entire chain and for the communities in which we live and work.
We hope that you will continue to visit Sonny’s as we welcome you and all the members of your family.
Kindest Regards,
Tina Kuhn

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
