City Sports Marketing Group(Mike Cardomone) I bought a franchise from this Mike Cardamone 2 years ago, from the start Cardamone lied about everything from how many franchises he has,from having a graphics department(which implies more than 1)violated his own franchise agreement and above all violated federal law by making you pay, a large deposit before revealing his companies assets. Cardamone talks a good talk and appears to smart, but he is stupid. sleezy and a grease ball, one could meet in his life.Stay away from him and his sorry a** company. Pittsburgh PA

I agree with EricD.Stay away from City Sports Markeing Group and Mike Cardomone.I made the intial report against City Sports Marketing and after hiring an attorney to reach a settlement since he breeched his franchise agreement and federal law. Mr. Cardamoe made yet another lie saying that his attorney is on vaction and will call when he gets back in town.It turns out Cardamone's attorney no longer represents him because Cardamone owes him money too. Additional calls and letters have made to Cardamone and of course have not been returned or answered.Come out,come out where ever you are Mike Cadamone!

I have performed Graphic Design services for City Sports Marketing on a sub-contractor basis on numerous occasions. Frequently this company and its owner were very late in making payments for past work performed and would often play games avoiding me and making excuses, saying he never received my invoices, etc. I advise any professional to avoid Mike Cardamone and City Sports Marketing. This company is a total joke. You will get ripped-off by this con-artist.

Mike Cardamone is a fast-talking, lying, snake-oil salesman rip-off con-man. They should change the name to "Fly-by-Night Marketing", because that's what this company is. City-Sports owes me an outstanding invoice of over $150 and won't return my emails and calls. I'm certain that I'll never see this money and basically got scammed. I will NEVER work for City-Sports Marketing again and neither should anyone. 

So well written but right out of the bulls**t page. J Lang is the printer for City Sports Marketing Group and Cardamone. Enough said.  

I am a vendor of the company who is being misrepresneted.  I have been invloved with every franchise that has been part of City Sports from a production point.  I have met each franchise owner personally. 

I produce ALL of the printed materials and I know the company operations as if it were my own.  I however have no owenrship in City Sports.

I have seen both patterns of success and failure.  The ones who have failed have not followed the guidelines set up by City Sports.  Instead they have "tweaked" the process to fit their own likes.  Most of those are the one who have failed. They are usually the ones who have also looked for the "Get Rich Quick" senario without putting in hardwork and determination.

Each year for the past 6 years or so I have seen Mr Cardamone be successful year after year growing individually, at will, with business.  He has sacrificed individual growth to help the franchisee owners be as successful as he has been.  The particular individual who has made this report had almost daily phone conversations with Mr Cardamone for over a year.

The initial report is not even close to accurate.  Maybe that is why the "reporter" did not publish his name
