I never thought that franchising a McD's or any other famous fast food or coffee place would be hard to turn into a good profit. But I will look more into this now...

quiet, real estate is my other idea, it's good but if you do it in a country where the tenent has too many rights then you might be screwed for a few months if he or she doesnt pay. But it is surely a safer investment (stress wise) then a franchise.
For a donut shop like Tim Hortons or Dunkin - the leashold improvements to make the building look right and be functional to operate a franchise could cost about 200k, and the equipment will be around the same as well. With Dunkin - you also have to cough up about 40 or 50k upfront in franchise fees, spend 8 weeks in Boston going to Dunkin Donuts University before you can open up.
