<human>: I'm wondering what happens with bankrupt franchises and if there's any way I can get my money back.  There were four locations of a Canadian "Medispa" franchise in my city that abruptly locked the doors and left a bunch of people with pre-paid treatments at a loss. The closest active location is 3 provinces away. With the exception of this business I'd never stepped foot in a spa - it was the result of saving my money for a year to take care of an embarrassing condition that I have dealt with since I was a kid. Aside from the money, actually going for the treatments was really hard for me and took a lot of courage-syke out time. I was beginning to feel comfortable with my tech and see results when I walked by their store front and saw a for rent sign. I feel really burned by the entire situation and even if I could work up the guts to go to another clinic/spa I'd have to start saving again. Not really an option. Do I have any options?!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Invested money in prepaid treatments at a "medispa" franchise that closed its doors. Is the company at large responsible or not? What, if any, would be a good course of action?
