It is a footy crazy town. But it seems that the encounter didn't really turn him against the afel. He didn't really think you crazy fanatics. Or maybe he did. And he realized how good it might be for business, because the er. Hungry jack's chain is actually a long time sponsor of the west coast eagles, which in any other year, i'd say is the best would by team, beause it's my team. But they're not doing so great, so maybe we can not talk about that. So this is december 69. We opened the first store. Is lie drilling for oil and hitting a wildcat well on your first day. Was an instant success, which encouraged us then to open more stores couple o years later, since that was doing so what else can we get et into the hamburger business? Hungry jacks got in the food manufacturing business, cause we had to supply ourselves with salads and onions and things like this. They used to cut the onions next door to the office, and at ten o'clock when they cut the onions, everybody in the office would have tears coming down their cheeks from the scent of the onions. But it was, it was, it was exciting times to start from scratch. After his success with k f c and hungry jacks, jack decided to try his hand at the petza business. But

it

wasn't easy going at the start. We started that business in 19 86. We bought 50 % of a four store business called sylvio's dialapiza in brisbon. And that business struggled. We probably built it up to 50 or 60 stores. Dominoes, meanwhile, came into sydney, and they opened another 50 stores, and they struggled. And three franchises went broke in the dominoes business. And we were so smart, we said, well, well, merge two losing businesss together. And we branded them all dominoes against an international brand. The owners of the cave c brand, america's yum restaurants, also owned a brand called pets hut. So you know what, they might have decided that because of his connection to dominoes and other little pets of thing, they were not going to renew jack's cave s leases. It didn't matter how successful his businesses were in australia. And jack believed that was pretty unfair. And so he would lobby politicians and eventually get the w a parliament to change franchising laws to better protect franchises. But

that didn't happen.
