    If You Had to Open a Franchise...

    ... and you assume that the following things were true, what are your top three picks of franchises to open?

    1. You have the funding and means.
    2. You have secured a suitable location and all permits and red tape has been cleared.
    3. No one else has yet opened your franchise in your area.

    I think my top three would be, in this order:

    1. ACE Cash Express (Payday Loans and Check Cashing)
    2. CiCis Pizza (Low Cost Pizza Buffet)
    3. Value Place Hotel (Extended Stay Hotel, Rooms Rent by the Week)

                Selfishly I would open up a Hooters because there is usually only one per city and you'd have a non-stop supply of hot potential talent to catch before they make it to stage 2 of porndom.

                Step 1- Waitress at Hooters
                Step 2- Waitress at a strip club
                Step 3- Stripper
                Step 4- Porn

                But if I was opening something cutting edge that I thought would do well, it would be one of these, they're hot in Austin and a great concept.

                  Haha! Thats actually a pretty damn good idea, the Hooters part. I never thought about turning your waitresses out, hell, why not the customers, too. You're right, sure would be a fertile hunting ground, no pun intended.

                                    Retail franchises are too much work.

                                    I do think it'd be fun to have a Starbucks though in retirement.

                                        Seems Panera Bread is a fast grower now. I heard of some guy with a Subway he was working 70 hrs a week and only making 35K....he would have probably made more as an employee...lol

                                              Pizza...

                                              Loans are going to be a pain and alot of extra work.
                                              Hotel is great but so much shit to compete with just wouldn't be worth it.

                                              You open a CiCi's and chill out serving american's favorite food while making friends with the local community.

                                                    From what I understand, Starbucks doesnt franchise out, its all company owned. Unless you own an exclusive space that they want to get into, like an airport.

                                                              Loans are going to be a pain and alot of extra work.
                                                              Hotel is great but so much shit to compete with just wouldn't be worth it.

                                                              You open a CiCi's and chill out serving american's favorite food while making friends with the local community.
