Franchisees of the health club chain Viva Leisure have sent a legal letter to their franchisor, warning the ASX-listed company that they will take further legal action if their concerns are not addressed within one month.
A group of 53 franchisees belonging to 64 outlets in Viva Leisure’s network of Plus Fitness gyms sent a legal letter and draft statement of claim to the company in late April, detailing their dissatisfaction over a change to the franchise agreement, The Australian Financial Review Reports.
The letter from the franchisees’ law firm reportedly warned Viva Leisure that they would commence proceedings on behalf of the Plus Fitness franchisees, if their concerns were not addressed within a month.
