Most of the Gold's Gyms are actually franchises rather than corporate owned. Four of the bay area locations are attempting to break their franchise agreements over this. |
Ok, read it, now I have a question. Did he or did he not, Rowlings, make his money off of the good folks who either went to golds gyms or those who bought franchises from him? Leading to him donating to the right wing crazies. So some of the contracts are up in 2012, doesn't do much good this time around. 4 golds gyms out of how many? We have one here, I'm not sure if they would agree with lgbt issues. Don't get me wrong 4 is a good start, but really what is the impact?
