Metro operators reproach the outrageous founder behavior of the fall of the chain chain
The late billionaire Fred Deluca has launched a fragile basis that today led the subway drama today.
Now it's not a secret thatMetro has encountered problems. While the last months have seen hundreds ofMetro franchisees Locking the horns with the company's leaders, a new report suggests that today's problems are simply emblematic in the history of the metro, starting with its founder. If these insider requests are true, it seems that the Fast Food chain, which has become the largest world, based largely on its menu without guilt and its virtuous brand - was actually a soap opera behind the scenes .
The smell of metro bread has always been so fresh - from the oven, but recent reports suggest that for years, Fishy's activities were heading in the metro headquarters. This, according to a new report ofInternal business community, in which two unidentified sources indicate that the world's largest rapid restoration chain was not so tuning - clean, as much as the public could believe.

The sources would have saidInternal business community This founding metro Fred Deluca, who associated with Scholar-Physicist Peter Buck to create the company in 1965, was a character. At conferences and metro agreements, Deluca would have pursued some wives of his franchisees and was known to have girlfriends. "If you wore a skirt and if you had a pulse, he would hunt you," said a source.
Internal business community reports that other sources have corroborated these claims. In the 1990s, Deluca's wife remained living at home in Connecticut, while Deluca transferred to Florida to circumvent a tax law that had just been adopted. The old daughter of Deluca would have revealed that she had asked her to her father-in-law not to bring her girlfriends around her children and her grandchildren "out of respect for [his wife]".Internal business community stipulates: "Deluca has escaped with" infidelities "because its success and its wealth have had a lot of behavior, even within its own family. [His former daughter-in-law] said:" Fred could do everything What Fred wanted to do and everyone just agree, turn the head on the other side. "
It seems that these indiscretions do not remain confined to the personal life of Deluca. The report also indicates that in 2000, "a timetable has been distributed to employees with partially bare male frames posing in the shower, a conference room and other bizarre contexts". Deluca would have participated in several of these calendar shoots over the years and sources said that "uncomfortable" employees receive them.
Meanwhile, some involved in society share that before Deluca's deceased in 2015 at the age of 67, he had not put in place a succession plan. In addition, after all these years, he directed the metro with a fist of iron and a tight budget would have been tight, the management of the company was not clear. According to recent accounts, such asInternal business community Said: "Now the rumors fly that the widow of Deluca, Elisabeth and his co-founder, Peter Buck, are desperate to cash and sell the chain."
Although reports may be a bit far away, it's a meat spoon that could help you explain what happened in recent years at the brand, which grew by 200 locations in 1982 to become the largest Fast franchise in the world with nearly 34,000 locations in 2010.
