What is the realistic chance they will come to TV?[/QUOTE]

Very small. Several years ago they went on a major expansion from their base, went public etc. I even saw them in Hawaii. However, the rapid expansion ultimately killed them. Profits went down and many franchisees closed down. They really pulled back their operations for stores and are concentrating on looking for franchisees in major metropolitan areas at this time. It is very expensive to open a franchise compared to Dunkin Donuts and would require a large population to make it profitable.
