Pearle Franchise stores

[LENNY]

What do you people think about present situation with Pearle franchise stores.
Do they become more valuable or less expensive?
Will they become more or less profitable?
Will they be easier or harder to manage?

And the last question will they be easier or harder to compete with!

[LENNY]

So this purchase does not change the value of their Pearl franchise stores?

Lenny:
This question will be best answered in June following the Pearle Franchise Convention.

Asuming that the merger goes through and Luxottica doesn't screw up the franchise agreements, the value should go up.

But, who knows what Bernstein and his bald headed stooge Todd have cooked up!

We shall see.
