I can explain them in more detail if you want, but they are significant, and people complain on this site everyday about a big chain that is threatening them somewhere in the US. Are all of these owners mistaken? |
Dog is right on...Name and buying power are two of the best advantages any franchise can expect NO MATTER what industry...no difference if a Burger King, Hair Cuttery, Dominoes Pizza, Cadillac Dealership..name and buying power will drive away competition, while being attractive to customers
