Reply With QuoteGet ahold of Anothy at Threaded. He would be a good guy to talk with about the do's and dont's...... he has been selling franchises of his business.
Like a fast food restaurant? Just curious about the pros and cons.
I was looking at a Quiznos opportunity....
Thoughts?
Are you thinking about the one for sale at Seco & Copperhill?

I have a friend that has two Cold Stone's for sale in palm desert.
760-242-5514 ask for Ralph
I owned two Robeks Juices before moving to TN. I also was their VP of Ops before buying the franchises, so I have seen it from both sides. Buying a Coldstone here in TN.
Google Quizno franchise forums. I found a discussion about the quiznos while looking up info for a Jamba juice and everyone had real negative comments about quiznos franchise.
Is the one by the new In and Out burger that is going in? Across the street from Costco?
I don't know anything about the area other than what he's told me. He said it's in a brand new shopping center that has taken WAY longer to complete than originally expected. And the main highway that is being built just finally was completed 4-6 months ago. He opened it in November of 2005 and has lost money every month since then.

That's no shocker......I can't think of a single time I've ever heard anyone say, "Let go out for some juice!"

Here's the straight poop-scoop...
I own two very different businesses (One in SO Cal, One in Phoenix).
Prior to moving (from So Cal to Scottsdale) I looked into many many franchise and private business ops for more than a year.
Here's my consensus - Franchises are great... For the Franchiser.
If you are a true entrepreneur, the rules, regs and fees will eventually drive you out just like most of those referenced in the posts noted here.
Otherwise, you're just buying yourself a (usually low paying) job.
Having said that - here's a couple of great resources for your research:

Keep your eyes wide open and scrutinize everything!
Remember, they are in the business of selling MORE FRANCHISES!:jawdrop:
Best of luck to ya!

My feeling on franchises too.
