If You Had to Open a Franchise... - GoFuckYourself.com

minusonebit · 10-04-2006, 04:49 PM

... 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)

i would probably start a Long & Foster and go into real estate. Alot of cash in those franchises

After Shock Media · 10-04-2006, 04:52 PM

payday loan by far.

Just be ready for a potential political bs smack down soon.

Skillz Unlimited · 10-04-2006, 04:56 PM

Coldstone
Starbucks
Ciggarette Shop.

Aneros Josh · 10-04-2006, 04:57 PM

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.

baddog · 10-04-2006, 05:03 PM

A combination Starbucks/KrispyKreme

GTS Mark · 10-04-2006, 05:19 PM

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

Starbucks....

fallenmuffin · 10-04-2006, 08:22 PM

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.

Marcus · 10-04-2006, 08:35 PM

Subway, its consistently the #1 rated franchise by Entrepreneur
2006 - http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchis...500/index.html
2005 - http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchis...8/2005,-1.html
2004 - http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchis...8/2004,-1.html
2003 - http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchis...8/2003,-1.html
2002 - http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchis...8/2002,-1.html

Or a Dunkin Donuts, Theyre always doing tons of business and I've never seen one close.

MaddCaz · 10-04-2006, 08:36 PM

low cost pizza buffet? Interesting....

Marcus · 10-04-2006, 08:53 PM

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.

Aquarius · 10-04-2006, 08:54 PM

Blockbuster, I love movies.
