Clarification
In our Dec. 2004 issue, in a News Brief about Santa Fe, NM's, new living wage law and its effect on franchisors, we wrote that Cold Stone Creamery was among the companies that had been identified as possibly paying sub-minimum wages. Douglas A. Ducey, chairman and CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, contacted FBLA to clarify that Cold Stone Creamery was not sued for violating the minimum wage law.
