Invest Your Money Wisely - Own A Franchise

Owning a Franchise

One of my friends is always talking about opening her own franchise with her brothers. First it was going to be a Five Guys franchise and now they want to open up a Tropical Smoothie Café franchise. Every time she brought it up, I thought that she was crazy. After graduating from college it never occurred to me to take this business path. I always just assumed that I would go work for someone else.

Now that I think about it, running a franchise may not be such a bad option. You could be your own boss! Think about making daily strategic business decisions. That would be fun and you would be totally in control of the business. The only issue I can see is getting together the capital to buy one ... that may get a little pricey.

Just out of curiosity I thought I would see what franchise opportunities people were looking for on AOL Search. I was a little surprised to see a Dollar Store franchise as #1 that just seems like it would be a chaotic thing to manage. I would also not want to own a Denny's franchise. But a Curves franchise could be fun or what about a KaBloom Flowers franchise?

Personally, I think this is awesome advice and so wise!! I dont want to bring family/personal information on the forum about finances, but my sister's investments keep her living "large" rofl

In the small town about 2 miles from me, there is both a Dollar Store & a Subway.  Both are doing quite well.  My hubby thought the Dollar Store wouldn't go over well, but was he ever wrong!!  The parking lot is always full.
