Snyder's of Hanover

I made a offer on route in the Mid-Atlantic area yesterday, waiting to hear there response. Twelve times actual sales of SL products only no partner brands, contract must state that DM can not order product for me, must state that SL will not make any agreements with stores to be serviced more than five times a week, SL can not lower commisions for the length of contract.
After riding the route for two weeks and speaking to the store managers I can't see any less than a 50% increase in sales over the next year. Should be able to sell it or split it into two routes within three years.
I know most of you guys don't have anything good to say about SL but do you talk to other IO's out there, nobody is happy with there company.

Ignore all the doom and gloomers here. They are just mad because they quit Snyders and now work at Taco Bell for 7.25 an hour.

<quoted text> i don't think they are wondering why people are leaving left and right, I don't think they care. they think they can find new people that will do things the way they want them to. that way they can tell them what to put in stores and how to do everything the way they want us to do.

Becomeing a independent op. isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
They want you to pay to do your job. They tell you this is a great opportunity for you. Snyder's is the only one that benifits from it. If you have a distributor aggreement, you need to get it to an attorney and have him break it down for you. I think you will be quite suprised. Snyder's is the only one making moneyon this deal. Based on the way the commission is figured out. Get back to me on when you break down the aggreement.

The problem with snyder's is they pay us on what we load not what we sell. They fail to tell you that when you are buying the route. I do not know one rep that is happy about snyder's. Everyone I know is selling there route to get out while they can. So now the new group of io's will be even more pissed off because they overpaid for the routes and make no money!!!!!

Here in the midwest they use a 10 / 1 ratio to value the routes. For instance if the route does 5000.00 in sales a week avg. the route is then worth 50,000.00. Thats what you pay for it. If your sales rise to say 7000.00 per week avg.( when you sell ) then your route is then worth 70,000.00. A profit of 30,000.00.(this is the only way you can sell the route if you wanted to.(You cant really put your own price on it.)
Our pay fluctuates too. Many variables will affect this, especially if you carry iventory all the time. I dont, I pre write orders and then sell it all by weeks end. The way they charge you for each load is a little screwy because they dont charge you but every 3 days and you are actually owing them money all the time.
My big problem with the whole situation is that the way they value the route. They use partner brand sales figures in the VALUE of the route initially and when and if we actually lose a partner brand, that value is lost to the I.O. They should sell the routes based only on sales of Snyders brand only, or whatever brands they actually own and know they wont lose.
They are also planning to buy back routes here too...soon. We dont have a choice either, they want to add the Lance brands and charge us for them.
