Yes, but for 30 years the franchise has literally driven into a swamp from which it is impossible to get out without risk and irrevocable investments. Here is a situation where PR's owner need to think ahead, like not eating during the day when a hearty banquet awaits you in the evening. Now they need to start, if not from scratch, then at least from ruins. But isn't this always associated with the risk of losing money?
