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 <i>FBLA</i> to clarify that Cold Stone Creamery was not sued for violating the minimum wage law. Ducey added that the company's franchisee in Santa Fe raised the minimum wage to $8.50/hour "weeks" before our story was published "in spite of doubts whether the law applied." Ducey also pointed out "the potential for employees to earn even more than the minimum wage with customer tips."
