1. Franchisees gain numerous advantage when they purchase a franchise. First, while a franchisee may be opening a new store, it is part of an already established business and system. This means a franchisee has access to turnkey operations, allowing an increased speed to establishing and growing the business. Franchisees also get support for management and training activities, as well as financial assistance. Going hand in hand with this, a franchise already has an established brand name, quality of goods and service which have been standardized across the franchisor’s larger company, and national advertising programs from franchisors. Franchises also have large-volume, centralized buying power. A franchise has proven products, and
The franchiser can attain rapid growth for the chain by sign- ing up many franchisees in many different locations.
Buying a franchise may reduce your investment risk by enabling you to associate with an established company. But the franchise fee can be substantial. You also will have other costs: for example, you may be required to give up significant control over your business while you take on contractual obligations with the franchisor.
As I frequent the restaurant I have seen first-hand that the management would need an over haul if franchises were ever to be a possibility. Managers at different locations do things differently. An example is the way their subs are made. At one location, onions and tomatoes are put on the Italian sub at another location, these items are not a usual topping, so you must ask for them. There are some difference that would need to more uniform. I understand franchises have their own personal touches to products however the product should have more universal likeness as it is the same
The Subway restaurant chain is marked by its impressive leading global growth. It is the largest restaurant chain in the world.

The first choice of business is the franchise. In a franchise, legal binding agreement is entered into between two firms, the franchisor (the product or service owner) and the franchisee (the firm to market the product or service in a particular location). The franchisee pays a certain sum of money for the right to market this product” (Rubin, 1978, p.224). The franchising is more prevalent in the restaurant industry (Hoffman & Preble, 2003). The two distinct features of this business type include; first, in order to notable service components should
An easier alternative to starting a business from scratch is purchasing an already established one. This can be achieved through purchasing a franchise, a business that follows an already established model. Before one purchases a franchise, they must obtain specific information to know whether or not the venture is worth it. One franchise that is growing in popularity is Buffalo Wild Wings. Although it is growing in popularity and success, is purchasing a Buffalo Wild Wings’ franchise worth it?
Franchising is a business model that allows companies to rapidly expand their market share. According to Franchise.com (2015), there are three types of franchises: distributorships, trademark licensing, and business format franchises. When two organizations enter into a distributorship, the originating company provides the rights another company to sell their products. An example of a distributorship is when an auto manufacturing company grants rights to a dealership to sell their vehicles (Franchise.com, 2015). Trademark licensing is when one company allows another company to use their trademark (Franchise.com, 2015). The business format franchise authorizes franchisees to sell the parent company’s products and/or services as well as utilize their business model. This type of franchising is the most common and is the type needed to obtain to open a new Cold Stone Creamery.

Prior to launching a franchise, the franchisor has developed and established attractive and meaningful branding for the operation, and as the network of franchisees expands the national recognition of this brand grows. When a franchisee enters into a mature franchisee network, they will benefit from the national name recognition the brand has built when it comes to their own marketing initiatives, while even new launch franchises have invested in professionally designed and intellectually protected branding to
Not having to answer to a corporate boss is the dream of many and the flexibility that owning a business franchise creates provides this option. Success is not reached by simply creating a business, however. The level of success is measured by the size and efficiency of the business. Business growth is the driving force of the economy. The additional jobs and revenues created when a business expands allow the economy to grow at exponential rates. One of the fastest and most popular ways to increase the size of a business is to turn it into a franchise, which can then be purchased by individuals. Franchising provides opportunities that are beneficial to both the parent company and the purchaser. The company that owns the business can expand
By buying into a franchise you are gaining the benefit of the franchisors experience as well as the name and reputation that has already been built up by the franchisor. Therefore it is no wonder that ‘according to the U.S. Commerce Department, an estimated 95% of franchises succeed, whereas only 25-35% of independent businesses succeed.’ (http://money.howstuffworks.com) It is also not surprising that franchising makes up for about 3.2 percent of all businesses and 35 percent of all retail and service revenue in the United States, proving that it is big business.
