Any one have an idea or knowledge of why the signs have to be destroyed? I’m sure there is a good reason. Part of me thinks that it is just free advertising for them down the road.
Every company has standards you must meet to sell their brand such as bathrooms ,square feet ,etc. Signage is part of that also, if they didn't destroy signage it would be just another avenue to loose control of your branding requirements. If you ever open a business carrying other name brand products you will figure it out real fast as to the hoops they want you to jump through before you get their blessing.
