No no no. Lets keep this business of starting false rumors in general discussions.

They haven't had that issue in the past of favoring one company over the other... so why would that change?
If you are a supplier and have four companies you sell to (A&B, FS, BB, Visions) why would you chance losing the extra business by not shipping one of them? This is another way of making a profit in two places, selling to A&B and then selling from A&B to the end user...

The only conflict of interest might be from the other retail stores wanting to directly compete with the manufacturer now that they have retail outlets...

Hypotheticaly that would defeat the purpose of buying the company. Why pay for a name and then change it?

Cujo, you missed what Dave was saying. Andre's where Dave works for example is a Audiotronics. He is in a market with a A&B Sound as direct competition. What he is thinking is that if the A&B Sound was renamed as franchise of Audiotronics to A&B Audiotronics. A condition of this change laid out by A&B Sound would be that when the names change happens, the existing Audiotronics stores like the one that Dave works at, would either have to close down or do a complete name change and lose the Audiotronics program. Correct Dave?
