Nott in any way to defend The Clownshow, as I think it ought to be very obvious that I am nott a fan of any of the Triad of Fail, but I suggest that one place a lott of skepticism on any statements by JOHN R FOX.
My opinion based on what I have learned of him is that he appears self-serving and of questionable veracity. Personally, I wood knott trust him to give one the correct time of day. unless it served his own interest to do so.
Just keep my opinion in mind when interpreting communications with him.
''I'm a scary judge of talent''
You are correct he is still an investor and supporter. Ive talked to him plenty times during his time and after. Folks can give him a call, these statements made about ‘what happened’ are simply false.
It was mentioned in the QA they would potentially divest if it a location didnt have a path to profits. The focus is on US locations. Tucson is fine.
$FUNN
this is nothing new. Guelph has been dead for a LONG time considering it was getting 1 review a month. Better close it for good than continue losing money with it.
I think Tuscon is next with its 1 review/week
*****Just a matter of time FUNN stops reporting fins and this garbage is sent to the Expert Market where it will trade between .000001 and .0001 of a cent
retail will be hammered with massive loses here - with current anemic volume retail cant even dump/sell this POS right now
ENOUGH SAID
Why do they communicate it to customers but not investors? We are not the same and deserve to be informed too.
Where is this new Twitter channel at that was in the bottom of the Q&A PR?
It takes less than 5 fkin minutes to create.
We need less talk and more action. Time to get off that unskilled ass and do what they say.
Ben and Roger are shady operators.
They announced Glendale when they backed out. Why no word on closing of a an existing source of revenue?
Ben needs to learn how to speak up. He’s slowly killing this company daily.
Any NEW closure "UPDATES"? The funn warning signs have been here for YEARS! Lack of audits is a huge one... ZERO PROFITS. This situation is not surprising at all.
Thinking the economy, HEADED DOWNWARD, is going to help, WELL.....
Prollem with that idea is that shareholders have proven to have poor business judgement by virtue of buying and holding shares in this fading pennyscam.
97+ percent LOSS and that snowball is still rolling down the hill.
That in and of itself rules ~OUTT AMFE/FUNN/FUNNQ shareholder-victims as suitable candidates for management.
Riding a pennystock down to a 90+ percent loss is a disqualifying event IMO.
Guelph finally ran ~OUTT of pickles and cheese so ____Ben kicked it to DaCurb as it was of no further use to him.
Ever sense they changed the name to funn it’s been all down hill !
Guelph would of made it if Bendover would have got menu changed !
Almost 30,000 students at Guelph University.
I would normally agree were it not for Roger. JRT tried to get along with him for years......but NADA!
Umm ... Guelph is a college town. University of Guelph. And The Roundtable is a successful game cafe in Guelph.
Snakes & Lattes was and is nott successful there.
And now it is all G-O-N-E along with all the munny that was spent on remodeling it over two years.
The next closure will be selected from the grup consisting of: Chicago, Provo, Tucson, and Midtown. (Markush group)
(Edit: also Ontario Agriculture College, Ontario Veterinary College, and Conestoga College are also in Guelph, butt the U. Guelph is the elephantine university there.)
New_recycled_BShyte_Soon_B4_Filing_FYE22_Financials.
of course...expect FUNN to file for an extension?
None of it will involve
actually securing a low interest loan that will cover the cost of:
A CEO for 5 years
5 Years worth of accounting services
5 Years worth of auditing services
5 Years worth of marketing
Am predicting that there will be no news that FU19, FU20, and FU21 audits have actually been completed and filed
No Franchise Sales for FY23!!!!!!!!
When FUNN execs do release the next PR about some partnership - IT HAD BETTER INCLUDE ACTUALLY PUBLISHING THE AGREEMENT SO THAT MINORITY SH CAN SEE ALL THE CONTINGENCIES INVOLVED.
And it had better involve an achievable action plan for execution - including deadlines of completion.
I honestly think this company would be better served if they let some of the shareholders on the board. To help as advisor in decision making. Not a salary position but as a representative sect of the greater shareholder community.
I never understood why Guelph in the first place. It’s not a college town, it’s pretty far outside of Toronto and it took them ages to remodel. Now where are we? Out of pocket and built a great place for the landlord to Jack up rent to the next business that comes in the door.
If Ben doesn’t step down, I think they should slow 2-3 advisors to help. Make it legal and keep it honest but at least get someone in their that appreciates the need to A.) communicate and B) help grow our investment.
Both of which Ben and Roger have no interest apparently in doing.
For the past five years I honestly feel like I have been duped and now I’m pissed off! No need for this state we are in. All fixable with proper people in place.
Another_Reason_Why_FUNN_Should_Focus_on_Franchising_vs._Current_Model_of_Acquisition
Because, due to Canadian Citizenship and NO US work visa - they do not meet requirements to apply for a US SBA low interest loan.
Which means that US Franchisees - who meet whatever requirements can apply the loan; which Franchisees are obligated to pay back; not FUNN
Really, No excuse for FUNN execs not to file audits , hire salespeople, and sell cafe franchises in USA.
If FUNN execs had spent that money used on Morning to complete audits and sell franchises.....imagine where we could be now?
Shoot, I would rather had spent the $140K/year for a director of marketing on the audits instead. No offense to Anais; but where is ther ROI on that "investment".
Market_Knows_Franchising_Is_Best_Option_To_Move_PPS_North_But_FUNN_Screwed_Up_Audits_Big_Time
List of Things That Would Give Market GREAT Reason To Buy FUNN
1. FUNN securing a low interest loan for the next 5 years that would cover the costs of
a. CEO@$100k/year = $500k, ceo to have restaurant and franchising experience
b. Advertising @ $250/month = $15k
c. cost of accounting service/year for 5 years.
d. cost of completing and filing audits in a timely manner. Complete FU19/FU20/FU21 and FU22. Cost of Completing FU23-28.
2.Filing FU19/FU20/FU21 Audits in accordance with USA franchising requirements
3. Hire commissioned salespeople with experience selling franchises
4. Sell Franchises
5. Release a PR that officially acknowledges that Beast, Subscription services, Games2Go, and the Cali video game partnership opportunities are FAILURES and FUNN will abandon these efforts - and focus on bringing all existing, money losing cafes to positive net profitability AND commit to selling franchises.
Unfortunately, with all of FUNN's active liens and mismanagement of Minority SH $$$, it's unlikely that they would be approved?
S&L Concept is good (but still should be improved)
Management is truly HORRIBLE, and should be replaced.
Provo and ChiTown Are Leading Negative Net Losses
Good Move Cafe was going bankrupt, is an underwhelming market, and is a dry town. Alcohol remains the biggest revenue and positive net profit generator for any cafe.
It was a "bargain" for a reason.
ChiTown is way to expensive to operate. A "dream" site for sure; as a one-off, pie-in-the-sky creation - but Cards Against Humanity never got it off the ground. CAH received a PPP loan, and FUNN received a PPP loan for that site. FUNN likely took on CAH's PPP loan/debt - and paid CAH founders common shares to boot. Who knows if contingencies for that "acquisition" were filled or not as FUNN has declined to publish specifics of the "acquisition".
The ChiTown site belongs at a place like Disney World. Losing money for sure.
IMO, FUNN should also shut down one or two of Toronto's biggest $$$ losers to give one of the 3 sites a chance at being positive net profitable.
Inexpensive??? LOLOL!!!! Look at the prices ...
And $15 for the privilege of NOTT having to buy the way-overpriced crappy food.
Student unions are FREE and you can stay as long as you want and play games.
Guelph out of business???
It's not difficult to grow this business. It just takes the right partnership/management to get it going. If Tempe is an "ATM" machine that some folks claim, then go to the next college town in AZ and open another S&L.
Every large college town in the USA should have 1..... inexpensive entertainment for college students.
What does Utah have to do with Guelp
HILARIOUS!!! That is one of the best posts I've ever read! One location down, how many to go?
funn AIN'T GOING TO BE FUN when the economy really kicks down. 70% of U.S. families are cutting back on retail purchases due to rising cost of living. Credit card purchases in August increased by around 5% and the expectation was around 1%. This ain't going to be "funn"!
Again, GREAT POST!
same diff no diff. It is now a race between Chicago and Provo to be the next to close. Both are bleeding big losses.
The Clownshow has to dump these boat anchors to have any hope of puting together a Chapter 11 reorg plan that the creditors might find credible and approve in bankruptcy (in which existing common sock shareholder-victims will be zeroed~OUTT and new equity issued to the creditors.
New Guelph menu:
Roast Crow $38 (with fork add $4 with knife add $7 feather removal +$16)
Hemlock and vodka $18 (lime +$5 tonic water +$8 ice cube +$6 dilution is free)
Just like Mourning and Starlit Citadel - The Clownshow could nott even sell Guelph for even a penny. It was 100 percent worthless.Just like AMFE/FUNN/FUNNQ, except unlike AMFE/FUNN/FUNNQ worthless shares, The Clownshow could nott find any suckers to buy it.
The Clownshow ought to have bought a trading shell (if AMFE/FUNN/FUNNQ was not totally BROKE!) and spun off GUELPH into it and offered the shares to existing AMFE/FUNN/FUNNQ shareholder-victims to pay for the endless, never-ending ongoing OPERATING LOSSES of GUELPH and gott them averaging down io zero in that spinoff ticker.
Loosing gamblers always chase their losses to DaDrain. In Pennyscamland it is a feature nott a bugg.
Utah never thrilled me .sorry
better than all locations. let's see what happens
Management are assholes. This was posted on Sept 7th on Guelph’s Facebook. Absolutely nothing has been communicated toward their public investors. They are the worlds worst communicators.

Snakes & Lattes Guelph
To our valued guests and community members,
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this
message today to inform you that Sunday,
September 11th will be our last day of business
at Snakes & Lattes Guelph.
The decision to close our Guelph location was
not an easy one, but the difficulties and
setbacks brought on by the COVID-19
pandemic have made it too difficult for us to
continue this business operation.
I would like to personally thank each and every
guest that walked through our doors over the
last year. We learned and played a lot of games
together, shared some fantastic food and drink,
and had a number of laughs during our monthly
comedy shows. In regards to our comedy
shows, I want to give a big thank you to Jason
Dalgleish for all the hard work that he put in
organizing our comedy shows and bringing a
variety of great talent through our doors. While I
wish that we could have continued to grow and
be a part of the downtown Guelph community
we are thankful for the support which has been
shown to us by the Downtown Guelph Business
Improvement Association.
I hope to see some familiar faces over the next
week in our Guelph location before we close our
doors for one last round of your favourite
games.
Thank you,
Bradley Sivyer, General Manager of Snakes &
Lattes Guelph

The problem goes way beyond Ben, it's Roger the scammer, scamming just like his daddy did for many years. When was the last time anyone has heard from Roger??. Has anyone ever seen Roger??? Think about it, scammers operate in the shadows with front men.
Why no PR? It is hard to have any kind of trust in these ass clowns.
This company is going backwards not forwards. Ben should man up and resign already. He’s a disaster of a CEO if that’s what he even is. Everyone should be seething about this, how many days did we spend talking about the total renovation they did on a building that was already a BGC. They took control, shut it, spent ages and ages remodeling it then closed it.
I am losing my cool here and my investment simultaneously.
Quit Ben! Just Fkng Quit!
Guelph Out of Business RFLMAO
Called it!
Bwahaha
As long as the mentally deficient Roger is in control, Amfil will continue to make decisions based on the simplistic reasoning of....'but it is cheap' without even considering why it failed in the first place. Then of course throwing money at it to try to overcome the fact that it losses money.
We dodged a bullet with Game Haus only because the landlord would rather let the space sit to get a real tenant in than the insolvent Snakes.
We need some REAL Management here and we need to take all of current management's stolen shares back so they can no longer overrule any new experienced management taking over.
.
Lots of time and money wasted once again. And it took them for freaking ever!
Piss poor communication will never change with the current peeps that are in charge
amazing stuff....and yet no PR, imagine that.
Well there goes Guelph. And I thought Snakes was going to add locations. LMFAO. It has begun, Guelph is toast, who will be next??? You can only prop up garbage for so long. Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Well…. Guelph is no longer. Our investment is appearing that way too. Need someone to make better choices for this company.
To our valued guests and community members, It is with a heavy heart to inform you that September 11th was our last day of business at Snakes & Lattes Guelph. Thank you to our amazing guests, we hope to see you at one of our Toronto locations!

I wish they took a picture of him
Pennyscams are some fine entertainment. The Clownshow ought to have a regular weakly timeslot on the Comedy Central cable channel.
It would be a tragi-comedy. Like America's Funniest Videos, The Clownshow hour could be called Pinkies' Goofiest Pennyscammers.
Like the Keystone Cops (or, for my Bostonian reedurs, the Keystone Cawps).
It should be a good laugh ;)

Interloc kings was established by Roger Mortimer in April of 2009. Interloc Kings is the premier landscape construction and snow removal service provider serving the GTA and York Region of Canada since 2009.
The team of designers and installation technicians delivers cutting edge landscape designs.
The company is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau since becoming a member in 2011.
The company has a 9.7/10 rating on HomeStars.
Specializing in stone and wood installations between $5,000 and $150,000 per project, Interloc-Kings Inc. has quickly become a top, high quality installation company of outdoor living areas.
Mr. Mortimer brought this company into the Amfil Tec. umbrella in 2013 and as a result, he became CEO of Amfil Tech. at that time.
As the company continues to grow, the vision is to spin Interloc Kings off into a public company (shareholders will receive free shares of the new company) and grow Interloc Kings into a franchising network that will cross the United States border.
