Franchisor
As franchisors, despite the great effort our teams put forth in supporting franchisees, the store opening process presents challenges, and demands a commitment of time, energy and expertise, that we are not always able to consistently provide.
Real Estate, Design and Construction can be unpredictable and difficult for even the most experienced amongst us. The truth is that the vast majority of new franchisees enter the store opening process with no experience in these areas.
What’s worse is that most franchisors have systems and processes which unintentionally, essentially, “require” our franchisees to become quasi Real Estate, Design and Construction professionals for the 8-12 months needed to open a store.
Why is This a Problem?
- Franchisors have lost control of the store opening process
- We have inexperienced franchisees leading a challenging process
- Franchisees are being distracted from working on their business
The Results:
- Inexperienced franchisees are managing independent vendors through a store opening process, the outcomes of which form our timelines, FDD Item 7 costs, and impact our validations.
Why Franchise-Ease May Be Your Answer
Having led a National Development Program for multiple brands, and helping open more than a thousand stores across the U.S. and Canada, Bill is uniquely skilled at understanding the role of each member in the store opening process, working effectively together with key players, and properly managing the franchisee.
The Impact From Bill’s Involvement Can Include:
- Faster time to open = Faster time to royalty
- More control over construction costs = Lower FDD Item 7
- Happier, more successful franchisees = Better validation
- Less strain on franchisor staff = Happier team, better performance
