starbucks is a goldmine - it's unbelievable they did it all interally. for us Canadians, another goldmine is Tim Horton's (something else i looked into recently) - avg gross per franchise is in the multi-millions per year (one of the best if not the best franchises available in Canada)... however they want you to be SERIOUSLY involved with the day to day running of the operation. you go to a tim horton's school, and have to be at your shop, running things constantly. to me, that's a huge turn off, regardless of the solid numbers.
