Hi, Paolo:

1. Regarding the upcoming franchise feature, will it be possible to link existing listings to the new franchise? Ex: We already have in our directory, a Smith Restaurant with multiple locations in Dallas, Houston, Miami, etc. Once franchise feature is released, can you create a franchise and add all of these existing Smith Restaurant into it? This option will allow us to avoid removing all existing listings and create new franchise listings all over again (and possibly losing all the existing reviews / comments / price packages associated with the existing listings). This will also save us time in the future when a business is bought by another business. All we have to do in that case is to link the two businesses together instead of creating new franchise listings and losing all other info associated with the existing listings being merged into the franchise.

2. Can we use the franchise feature as Shopping Center / Strip Mall option? For instance, we want to group all listings in the same Shopping Center / Strip Mall into the chosen center so that when the user clicks on the center link, it will display all stores / listings in the center. If not, is there any feature in WP Geodirectory we can use right now for the grouping option?

Thanks

Brian
