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. 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... If the value changes before you have franchised it you are too late. You have to hit the little handshake icon and immediately hit the franchise button. If you see the value change it is too late. If it does change you can back out of their town and get back into it and check the stats. It should still show the high value and then you can try it again. I am using an iPhone4s and maybe other devices are not fast enough to act before the value reverts to the lower amount. Just a guess as I do not know for certain.

OK, here are my "BUCK" counts. I'm going to put these and the others in a spreadsheet and add some other parameters, such as business level, check-ins, etc. and see what we can come up with. Definitely interesting and in some cases bizarre!
Apple Store Your Pop. 9,616 What I see 9,015 - 50 bucks
World Gold Council Your Pop. 2,700 What I see 413 - 7 bucks
Dunkin Donuts Your Pop. 2,542 What I see 462 - 8 bucks
Hell Your Pop. 2,252 What I see 816 - 13 bucks
Artex Your Pop. 1,779 What I see 337 - 6 bucks
Pure Gold Your Pop. 1,479 What I see 266 - 5 bucks
Subway Your Pop. 1,241 What I see 746 - 12 bucks
Happy Face Your Pop. 1,108 What I see 173 - 3 bucks
Ichiban Japanese Restaurant Your Pop. 952 What I see 621 - 10 bucks
Tommy Hillfiger Your Pop. 1,614 What I see 1,614 - 25 bucks

I would really like to know what the minimum popularity number is for a franchise to give 50 bucks. At first look it appeared that anything above 3,000 would have worked but then I see Tessan being almost 4000 and it gave a really small amount. I hope the spreadsheet might shed some light on how the amounts given are determined.

Hey Chilli, Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'm going to try and pick up some businesses in my test town. Maybe 4000, 5000, 6000, etc. I'll let you know and then we can test it to see where the threshold is. Thanks for doing this, man. Appreciate it. Plus we may get more insight into Booyah's calculations (but probably not )

If I franchise a 40,000 population business for coins does the mayor get coins or 50 bucks?

If I franchise a 40,000 population business for coins does the mayor get coins or 50 bucks? If you franchise using coins then they get coins, if you use bucks they get bucks. Also it appears that the delay in the values changing has been fixed with the latest update last night.

It took many tries, but eventually I caught a lag in the response. It wasn't consistently lagging like before though.

All of these values are what you would see (franchise cost). With the server lags it may take a bit before you are able to see them, but I'll go ahead and list the ones I have so far across two towns: LexiLooVille 31759913Walt Disney - 5550 Super Fashions - 6684 Fireworks - 7749 4th Dimension - 8139 Solsville: La Cucina Gourmet - 4955 Seatown Supermarket - 7592 Rib Restaurant - 8721 Apple Store - 8437 Obviously, the numbers may change, so please track what the number you see as usual. Thanks.

Chilli - OK they all produced 50 bucks.
I'll have to pick up some between 3K - 5K and see where it hits
EDIT
OK, we are almost there, Chilli:
Last set and I think we will nail it.
Solsville
Sweet City - 13859 Tessan - maybe hit again to see if this is an anomaly
LexiLooVille 31759913
Times Mirror Company - 3007 LA City General Services - 2106 Don's Hair Salon - 2074 LA Youth at Work - 1896
We should be able to pin it down now.

I just picked them up, so it probably takes a bit to propagate to the Booyah servers. I guess hit the one's in the blank cells when you get a chance. Our answer will lie there somewhere. Here's what we got so far: Business | my pop. | gen pop | BUCKS | Apple Store | 9616 | 9015 | 50 | Fireworks | 7749 | 7691 | 50 | Super Fashions | 6684 | 6675 | 50 | Walt Disney | 5550 | 5668 | 50 | La Cucina Gourmet | 4955 | 4974 | 50 | Sweet City | 13859 | 1879 | 30 | Tommy Hillfiger | 1614 | 1614 | 25 | Hell | 2252 | 816 | 13 | Nathan's Famous | 3336 | 811 | 50 | Tessan | 3717 | 799 | 13 | Subway | 1241 | 746 | 12 | Kiss Café | 935 | 659 | 11 | Ichiban Japanese | 952 | 621 | 10 | Dunkin Donuts | 2,542 | 462 | 8 | World Gold Council | 2700 | 413 | 7 | Artex | 1779 | 337 | 6 | Pure Gold | 1479 | 266 | 5 | Patsys Pizzeria | 901 | 215 | 4 | Happy Face | 1108 | 173 | 3 | Décor Art Gallery | 933 | 160 | 3 | Times Mirror Company | 3007 | | | LA City General Services | 2106 | | | Don's Hair Salon | 2074 | | | LA Youth at Work | 1896 | | |
WEIRD: Right after I posted this - cAndyland franchised Sweet City and I got 50 Bucks.

LOL! Good one, Chilli!
But, duh, I bet he caught it before it dropped and franchised it for the 13,000 figure. That is probably what accounts for the anomaly.
Once the other's show up on LexiLooVille we will probably have it nailed down. My money is on 2500.

This may complicate things, but if you put business level and the distance from your location to the business, you may have a better predictive model. Of course, Booyah's statistician prob never thought anyone would look this deeply into it... He/she's been busy with the spin to win wheel.
