We purchased a franchise through St. Gregory Group. We ended up having to sue them for fraud along with a handful of others. Most people lost 800K to 1M . They have now changed their name to Front Street Equity Partners but is it the same shady crew.

I am a former Row House franchise owner / area developer. Lost over 1 Million dollars after the being “sold” by STG and Row House. I am not the only one!

This company sells franchises like there selling penny stocksI looked into 2 of their concepts which was cycle bar and club Pilates. They do a 3 call process and are all about pressuring you to buy. They get a heft commission from the franchisor. At the time I was looking at cycle bar there was no franchises open just the 3 corporate clubs. Most cycle places are in big cities. When I expressed my concern that I was in a bedroom community with soarse population the sales rep lost patients with me. Its not like I was able to validate any clubs in similar demos. Then came club Pilates. I spoke with 2 NJ owners who had complaines about the fact that it is hard to get instructors because there is less interest in Pilates here so not a great pool to find takent. When the franchise rep called and asked if I was ready to buy I expectede my concern and said I needed more time. His response was im closing your file. He did a takeaway sale. Thats low life sales tactics. He should have said ok take your time but territory is selling fast and you might miss out. They do have some fantastic concepts and imsorry I burned my bridges with them however I cant stand how I was treated and I am very out spoken. Sometimes its best to walk away and not make enemies.
