Are you in Franchising or thinking of getting into franchising? If so, here's an excellent sit-down with JD Tulloch, the VP of Franchise Development & Technology with Rush Bowls. #rushbowls #franchising #technology #c2imaging

Excited to announce multiple franchise resales system wide last week including Rosati's Pizza in Arizona, Marco's Pizza (Marco's Franchising, LLC) in Michigan and Hungry Howie's Pizza in Georgia. Wow! Seems like it was a big Pizza Week. Our relationships with brands like these allow them to achieve net restaurant growth. They are retaining and transferring existing units with the help of We Sell Restaurants while their development team focuses on new unit sales. If you are going to be at the International Franchise Association Superbowl of events next week in Arizona, let's talk about a resale strategy as part of your commitment to responsible franchising. There are many reasons you want to focus on this strategy including: ➡ The National Restaurant Association's 2024 State of the Industry reported that 38% of all operators say they are not profitable. As a franchisor, responsible franchising means you need to provide a way out for those who are not successful. ➡ America is aging and a "Silver Tsunami" is upon us. 10,000 Baby Boomer each DAY are turning 65 between now and 2030. If you don't have an exit plan for these boomers, they may simply shut down when the lease and franchise term are over, resulting in negative net restaurant growth. ➡ It is taking longer than ever to launch new units meaning your store counts on this year's FDD may reflect "Sold not Open" at higher counts. Don't let the total sum of your units also be negatively impacted by closures or doors that go dark. ➡ Failure rates of existing units will impact financing for new units. Do you know that We Sell Restaurants can work with the SBA to negotiate a "workout" if your franchisee is under water? ➡ Responsible franchising means a brand that is consistent with brand standards. None of us have a crystal ball and the candidate you thought was ideal at Discovery Day may not be working out. This affects the reputation of the brand and other franchisees along with the customer experience. It also impacts validation. Responsible franchising includes offering a path forward and sometimes that means working to help some owners exit. We have the tough conversations, perform free and confidential valuations and help both of you achieve a better outcome. Now that's responsible franchising! Message me to talk about your brand's resale program and I'll look forward to seeing you in Phoenix. #WeSellRestaurants #Restaurants #restaurantindustry #Franchise #ResponsibleFranchising

🍔 True story... I have had the same Mc. Donald's order all my life. A rare treat, but when I do it's a "Happy Meal and an extra burger, and an extra ketchup - don't forget the ketchup". - But you probably think McDonald's is all about burger and fries - cat's out of the bag kids and it's time to uncover the golden arches' hidden side: its real-estate empire. 🌐 A Vast Real Estate Portfolio McDonald’s owns around 55% of the land and 80% of the buildings where its restaurants operate. With over 40,000 locations worldwide, McDonald's real estate holdings are valued at approximately $42 billion. This approach ensures steady income through rent and long-term leases, making it a colossal player in commercial real estate 💡 Franchise Model with a Twist The genius behind McDonald's model is the structure of its franchise agreements. Franchisees pay not only a percentage of sales as royalties but also rent for the properties. This dual income stream means that even if a restaurant's sales dip, McDonald's still earns significant revenue from rent. In 2021, McDonald’s made $13.1 billion from franchisees, with $8.4 billion from rent alone. 🗺️ Strategic Location Selection McDonald's meticulously selects high-traffic locations for its restaurants, ensuring maximum visibility and customer access. Whether it's near highways, bustling business districts, or shopping hubs, the strategic placement of its properties drives substantial sales volumes, reinforcing its market dominance 📈 Long-Term Stability By focusing on long-term leases, McDonald's secures stable rental income and can manage expenses predictably. This stability allows the company to focus on its core business operations and innovate without worrying about escalating real estate costs. 🚀Controlled Expansion The real estate strategy also facilitates controlled and consistent expansion. McDonald's opens around 1,000 new stores annually, strategically positioned to maximize both real estate and operational efficiency. This expansion is heavily supported by its real estate investments, ensuring continued growth and profitability. So, next time you grab a Big Mac (or a Happy Meal in my case), remember that you're also supporting one of the world's most robust real estate empires. McDonald's might be serving fast food, but its financial backbone is built on some seriously valuable property. - - #mcdonalds #business #franchise #franchising

Buca di Beppo Files for Chapter 11 As a franchise attorney focused on the restaurant industry, Buca di Beppo's move to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy comes as no shock. This is the latest in a troubling series of bankruptcies that signal deeper issues within the restaurant franchise sector. Key Facts: - Closed Locations: 13 out of 57 locations shut down, leaving just 44. - Financial Strain: Assets and liabilities between $10M and $50M. - Sales Dip: A 5% drop in sales this year alone. But Buca di Beppo is not alone. The entire sector is grappling with: - Post-COVID Recovery: Many are still reeling from the pandemic. - Rising Costs: Labor and supply costs are squeezing margins. - Consumer Shifts: A move towards takeout, delivery, and healthier options. Historical Context Founded in 1993, Buca di Beppo quickly became a beloved brand but faced a downfall with an SEC scandal in 2005. Acquired by Planet Hollywood International in 2008, it has since struggled to adapt to modern market demands. CEO Rich Saultz calls the Chapter 11 filing a strategic step towards a strong future, with plans to reorganize finances, streamline operations, and possibly find a buyer within 75 days. Industry Trends Our firm has seen a significant drop in Restaurant Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) reviews this year, indicating: 1. Investor Skepticism: A growing reluctance to invest in the unstable restaurant space. 2. Consumer Hesitancy: Declining confidence in traditional dine-in restaurants. The Road Ahead The next 75 days are critical for Buca di Beppo. Goals include: - Finding buyers or strategic partners. - Restructuring financial obligations. - Implementing changes to boost profitability. While leadership remains hopeful, the industry’s challenges call for serious contemplation. Key Takeaway for Franchisees and Investors Now more than ever, due diligence is crucial. Potential investments in the restaurant industry must be evaluated with a sharp focus on both current realities and long-term prospects. Our firm remains dedicated to offering up-to-date information and expert guidance during these turbulent times. #franchise #franchisee

The 'Upgrade or Exit' Ultimatum: A Risky Remodel for Subway Franchisees? 🚨 Shockwaves echoed through the franchise community following Subway CEO John Chidsey's recent mandate at a convention. His stark message? Franchisees must comply with costly store upgrades or face an exit from the franchise. A forceful decree, considering the financial burden it sows on many operators. Yes, it's true that some franchisees have reported benefits from store refurbishments. They claim that alongside a brighter, renewed interior, customer loyalty and sales also saw a glorious uplift. But are we ignoring the elephant lurking underneath this glossy veneer? Let's delve into the numbers. For many franchisees, remodeling costs hover around a significant $60,000 to $80,000. Now, juxtapose this against the average revenue of less than $500,000 per Subway outlet. The remodeling costs, thus, represent an astounding 12-16% of revenues. It's a whopping financial burden, especially for franchises operating on very tight margins. The mandates come amid a challenging backdrop for Subway. The brand - once the largest fast-food chain by outlets - has seen a startling decline in the US, shedding approximately 8,000 units since 2011. While the company's sales recorded a 5.9% uptick in 2023, one can't help but question if this enforced remodeling is a costly band-aid on a deeper wound? What's more, the proposed sale of Subway to private equity firm Roark Capital still hangs in the balance, awaiting FTC approval. Yet, it seems apparent that the existing management, despite the uncertainties, is steering full speed ahead with its contentious strategy. So, where does this leave Subway franchisees? Forced into a corner with an ultimatum that could potentially drain their resources? How many more franchise units will Subway lose with its high-risk approach? It's high time for a critical conversation. We'd love to hear your strategies and insights! 🚀 #franchise #franchising
