Just tried this to see if I could franchise an apple store for coins. Unfortunately not only does the apple store still only franchise for bucks, but it seems my town hadn't synced with the servers in a long time.....I had reached lvl 29 and now I'm back to lv 15. Half my businesses are gone, and about 100 bucks I got from Snibull, sweet p&m and another member of these forums through franchises have also disappeared. Oh well, I guess I will be rebuilding now....hahaha at least I can redo it differently this time

I've never had luck changing locations (and my game center is activated) - started have trouble with my game last week and booyah support "made" - requested!!! me to delete/reinstall - didn't fix my game but all data came back and I finally got the prompt to enter location! Which I promptly!!!

Thank you everyone. I have another town on the iphone, so only had the guts to try it out on that one. (Wouldn't have been that upset if I lost the data on that town.) Follow the sun- I just franchised one of your business. And it worked!! Thanks ;D No worries. Glad you figured it out. It opens a whole world (literally) of opportunities to franchise high popularity business in various locations.

Cheers!!! Raven Very bummed:(. Just did this and was so excited. I bought things for bucks in Paris with this trick, not coins but buck amounts were far cheaper. Then I turned on location services to revert. The businesses were gone and I lost my coveted 1300 bucks. I obviously did something wrong:( Jenn

Love, that sounds terrible. It would be worth an email to Booyah.

Jenn!! Now I'll be hesitant to do it again!!!! The only difference I see is that my location service was on when I did it - I'd email booyah for sure - I was hoping to go back to original province of BC - Vancouver! I might be living in New York forever ! Good thing I love live broadway shows

When I switched to this latest location, I decided I will wait a few hours. I remember reading somewhere that you have to wait a few hours for servers to back up and I had forgotten that useful tip. I went out on a limb and it worked (kinda- smaller amounts of bucks then normal) thank you:)

Hey mayors, so what is the best city to start with for good businesses?? I started in NYC. There are lots of hi pop businesses there you can buy for coins. LA and San Francisco are good cities and Paris is also popular. Have fun traveling the world.

I just did the delete my game and moved location yesterday! Was no problem just like in the thread keep data and reinstall! Very cool! However I still can't acquire those top biz because they cost thousands of bucks. I just started to get help from two people and I couldn't believe it when I got 50 bucks, now I have 225 bucks!! The most iv ever had....I can't tell you how exciting it was to get help from just two people! It's such a cool new feeling to the game when other mayors come see you and actually help you in the game, it's only 200 bucks got a ways to go but I'm motivated again!!

When you change locations to let say New York, you should be able to buy all these businesses with coins and not bucks. Ive never spend a buck on a business, except for franchising small businesses as gifts. Check out my town. I got businesses from all over the world.

Has anyone tried to change to a new location since the update? (Actually deleting the appl and re-installing.) I did the update and my 2nd location is NY. I want to go to CA, but a little nervous. Thanks

Finally tried the uninstall/reinstall last night and managed to get to Paris. Then tried again to move to NY and all the Paris changes had disappeared (on the bright side if you do this at about midnight you get to do your daily spins again and again and again in the hopes of getting the BUCKS).
Anyway, I an now in NY and would like to try moving again after I get some coin acquired again so I can purchase more high pop businesses but am afraid to lose what I have. Does anyone know if there is a certain amount of time you have to wait before moving to a new location? I'm a without it losing information? Is it an hour or 24.
Thanks for your help guys, I think I am FINALLY figuring this out.

I waited 24 hours before a delete/reinstall to do a second location change and it kept all my data!

Okay so just to be sure before i make the jump when i hold down the my town 2 icon it then comes up with a 'cross'. I then hit the cross and it says do you want to delete all the data? I then will hit okay and its going to ask me if i want to keep something right? I do this with location off and then go to mytown 2 app and load it again and all my data will be there right and its gonna ask me for my location? Sorry to be thick just scared

Babaloo, you may already know this, but make sure you have activated your game center. This way, when you delete the app, the "magic" words appear. Do you want to save data.
Took me forever to figure this out.
Good luck and have fun.
