Thursday with a twist of Mamba Mentality. 🐍💪 In the high-stakes arena of quick-service restaurants (QSR), it’s not just about how fast you move but how smart and relentless you are in pursuit of greatness. Over 20 years in the game, I’ve realized the true MVPs of a franchise are the people behind the counter, in the kitchen, and on the front lines. The heartbeat of success is passion—passion that starts with leadership and flows through every team member. It’s about cultivating a culture where every employee feels empowered, recognized, and driven to give their best, every single day. That’s how you build a winning franchise. 🏆 From optimizing operations to innovating the customer experience, the Mamba Mentality means we never settle for “good enough.” We push boundaries, we learn from every play, and we strive for excellence in everything we do. As we gear up to close the week strong, let’s remember: great franchises are built by teams that trust, support, and challenge each other. It’s not just about hitting numbers; it’s about building a legacy of excellence. Are you embracing the Mamba Mentality with your team? What’s one way you’re pushing for greatness in your organization? Let’s drive each other forward! 🚀 Drop your thoughts below—let’s elevate together. 👇

Successful camp franchise partners understand that their success goes beyond just the product and marketing. They prioritize developing their teams and working on their business rather than being tied down to a fixed schedule. Their level of grit and work ethic sets them apart Many of our franchise partners have multiple locations, and they are able to manage their business from afar, but that doesn't mean they're not engaged. In fact, most of our successful partners are fully engaged with their team and with us at the support center. To us, that makes for a valuable partnership. If that sounds like an opportunity you'd like to investigate, let's connect. #SuccessMindset #LeadershipGoals #WorkEthic

Though a little overdue, I wanted to share the Hansen Family commando Easter egg hunt with you. This is the 10th year anniversary of a tradition in our family. We could of course just put a bunch of eggs around the yard, but That's really not very exciting for the kids or The spectators. Instead, we dreamed up a way to make it a little more adventurous and fun for both parties. We will put pit traps, Spring snares, and all sorts of other fun like dodge balls, swinging yoga balls, flying eggs, and even active netting traps (took on a life of its own this year 😂). Which event do you think the kids (and parents) are going to remember better? Too many brands in the #franchisefam are trying to do #frandev or operate their franchise systems the same way they see everyone doing it. There are certain elements that are universally important (and required for compliance), and yet sometimes they're downright boring as these brands try to act like everyone else. Be Memorable. Especially in how you make people feel as they investigate your brand to seek franchise ownership - or when they interact with your brand at the unit level. Why not aspire to create a customer centrix culture like Chick-fil-A Restaurants but with your own flair? Why don't you create some unique branding like Masshole Lobster Truck or Royal Restrooms ? Be different or your prospects and customers will leave indifferent. And remember that everyone will remember how you made them feel, even if they can't remember your pricing, or your founder's origin story ;) Here are some of my favorites that are doing a great job of creating memorable experiences in franchising.
