Business history

In 2001, Yates was as a representative of Global Pre Paid, a prepaid phone card franchise.

On February 8, 2010, Mr. Yates formed a healthy vending machine franchise called Fresh Healthy Vending in San Diego, CA.  Fresh Healthy Vending failed to disclose Mr. Yates's litigation and bankruptcy history in its franchise disclosure documents. As a result, the California Department of Business Oversight revoked Fresh Healthy Vending's ability to sell franchises in California and then ordered the company to offer rescissions to franchisees in that state.[6] Fresh Healthy Vending declared bankruptcy on September 27, 2018.[7]
