I actually don't remember him saying anything about a Mr. Crepe chain. I thought he was just talking about adding more Waffle Haus locations through franchising.

no, he was definitely talking about expanding mr. crepe through franchising. that was part of his whole deal about having to reopen mr. crepe ASAP instead of waiting until (say) spring.

he was convinced people were going to try and copy his idea, in which case he could offer them franchising opportunities if he had mr. crepe up and running; else, if he *didn't* have mr. crepe back in business, his competitors would be able to take over the crepe market.

I didn't take that from what he was saying about his schedule. I thought he was saying he had to stay one step ahead in his *other* business, where he currently enjoys a defacto monopoly in a niche he created. (Hence the going on about the NYT (or was it WSJ?) article.)

But it may be true nonetheless.
