How many individual people are buying new franchises these days?
I can't say with certainty, but my impression is that most McDonald's (and other fast food chains, possibly other franchises as well) locations are then owned by semi-regional operators that run a number of franchises. Around here, I know most of the McDonald's are run by 1 corporation. Same with the Burger Kings. It was the same way where I lived previously.
- Digory 8y agoMy impression is that McDonalds' margins are shrinking, forcing franchisee consolidation. Where margins are still fat, you'll find more one-off franchises. Chick-Fil-A, for example, used to limit "Operators" to one store. Real Estate agents are often franchises.
