I get emails and mailings with coupons and special offerings such as $1 fish tacos and crab cakes on a regular basis. The store I frequent is #29273 in Salem, NH, a combination LJS and Taco Bell. They never have the specials saying they are a franchise. I have used some coupons there in the past, but yesterday I tried to use a buy one, one free variety platter and the manager refused to accept it. I would go elsewhere but it is the only LJS anywhere near me. Why bother with the mailings and coupons if your franchise stores have limited services and products.
