| a friend of mine was going to open a cold stone creamery.  after looking at all the cost, he would basically have to work the place everyday to make money.
 they require that you hire so many people and no one is going to work for $7.25/hr unless you are an idiot high school kid.
 
 at the end of the day, 1 franchise will not make you rich, or probably even pay your bills.  a friend of mine his dad owns about 12 different ones and makes as much of those as he does from the 3 diners that he also owns
