I don’t eat hotdogs but I would visit Felony Franks in a minute. I love it when an entrepreneur figures out a way to both help others while operating a for profit business. It seems like a win/win to me.  Of course, I might feel not feel as enthusiastic if my kids walked by Felony Franks on their way home from school.  It seems that there are lots of well-meaning people who want to help others but have the “not in my backyard” mentality. If Felony Franks is helping convicted felons start a new while keeping them crime free then I say - fantastic! Franchise freely.
