BUTTERFLY LIFE: Carol King, Former Franchise Owner
Carol King is a mother and fitness advocate with a degree in physical education from Cal State Northridge. In 2004, she and childhood friend Linda Canale pursued their dream of helping women live happier, healthier lives by opening what they thought was an innovative new fitness franchise supported by a team of dedicated, experienced, trustworthy industry experts.
According to Carol, her dream of business ownership almost immediately became a personal and financial nightmare. She now puts her energies into helping to educate potential franchise owners how to avoid the same mistakes she made, and advocating for more equitable treatment of the franchisees of Butterfly Life and other chains. Carol & Linda opened their Woodland Hills, CA Butterfly Life location in October, 2004 and closed in April, 2005. They’ve lost $240,000 to date.

When failed franchisees are interviewed, do they understand that if a NEW franchisor can OVERSEED AND SELL enough franchises when he is launching his new business, he is bound to have a few that will be viable and keep him in compliance with federal regulatory policy and state disclosure laws and protect him in the courts FROM THE SEEDS THAT DON’T CATCH.
There are more bad seeds in the entire us than there are viable ones. He will not be protected from the mere act of missleading innocent people and committing fraud.
