The FranchiseRe newsletter has stopped publishing
Readers, last weekend was our final newsletter.
During the last two years, our subscription base has grown from 175 to 4,495. Our readers include the industry's best and brightest. But it's not enough, so it's time to stop.
This was an enormously satisfying project. Thank you for your time and interest. The attention and coverage the newsletter received over the last few years has been sensational and beyond what I imagined when I started sending a few informal notes to a handful of colleagues and friends. I'm incredibly grateful.
Paid subscribers, you are no longer being charged. During the next two weeks, you will receive a full refund for the time that remains on your subscriptions.
Recent arrivals, we wish we had more time to share our thinking. Our archive of 159 weekend/posts remains here.
This newsletter was an absolute pleasure — thank you again.
David A. Gross - writer, editor & publisher
