Hey Chilli, When you get a chance can you franchise the following in my town: Tessan Nathan's Famous Sweet City I'll keep track of the bucks and maybe we can narrow it down a little. (just for the hell of it). That would be great! I have just finished franchising.

Awesome thanks!
Results from my side:
Nathan's Famous: Pop. 3336 - 50 bucks Tessan: Pop. 3717 - 13 Bucks Sweet City: Pop. 13,859 - 50 Bucks
What are the popularity stats on these from your end?

Another little test with your town Patsy's Pizzeria: you show pop. 901 I see Pop. 215 Decor Art Gallery: you show pop. 933 I see Pop. 160 Kiss Cafe: you show pop. 935 I see Pop. 659

hey chilli, i was able to switch locations today to NYC and LA, but when i try to switch for the third time...this time to paris, my progress from LA was not saved. i did the whole uninstall, keep data from game center, the whole shebang...but everytime i tried to switch to paris, i was brought back to the pre-LA franchise time frame. i was forced to just franchise the high pop businesses in LA and left it alone. maybe it takes a while for game center to process the data? i'll give it another try in a couple days. any ideas what's going on? did u try to switch to more than 2 locations today? btw, i was able to franchise wonderland's universal studios for a whopping 4 mil coins ;D

I will try it tomorrow and let you know if I have any better luck. 4 million coins is MUCH better than 75,000 bucks

I wish I had read this thread earlier in the day. I was franchising some locals for coins and noticed what Chilli was talking about. The price changed but there was a small window to grab it at the original value. I just tried it now though and it doesn't seem to be working. I wonder if this is what the mini-update fixed that I noticed being downloaded around 7pm tonight. Is it still working for anyone else?
Update:
I got greedy and tried it but it didn't work. I had the NYC Starbucks at about 30k+ popularity and deleted it. I went to buy Wonderlands and hit the franchise button instantly but it had already dropped down to 16k popularity. Earlier in the day there was about a one second lag that allowed you to catch it at the first popularity, but it seems to be gone now.

I was at Wonderland prior and I saw it flash and drop in popularity. Thought I will try it later tonight. Now I see the same as cmeister. low popularity.

It was nice and linear until Tessan.

Now I see the same as cmeister. low popularity. hmmm that's weird. i was able to franchise 2 businesses from him early this afternoon with no problems. u have a split second to click on the price after u clicked on the handshake bubble to lock in on his pop. sounds like u guys are doing it right. not sure if it's a fix. i'll try again tomor to see if it works.

I just tried it again this morning and I was able to snag another one of Wonderlands businesses. So it is still working. You just need to try and be fast when doing the franchise.

Yes! I got it to work as well. You have to be really quick. It's much easier after a couple of cups of coffee.

You just need to try and be fast when doing the franchise. but once the price goes down you dont have another chance to get the high price, thats what I see, when I click on the business, and I am not fast enough...it stays at the low population...
