Yes, it is possible, but there are several key ingredients you need that are pretty rare. The main ingredient being: someone to run it! Where do people think they're going to find somebody that will pour their soul into a company they don't own? Nobody is going to do that. Now if you were to offer the right person a chunk of the profits you may find some good results, only problem is it would cut into your income. I think its a pretty fair trade though. Setup enough locations with enough of the right people and you just may be on to something.

Its everything BUT easy though.
