From time to time we’ll publish some important Statistics from Franchisegrade.com that we feel are pertinent to franchisors, franchisees and other participants in the franchise industry.
- An analysis of 405 Franchise Start-ups from 2010 to 2015 found that 102 were no longer franchising and only 154 franchise systems had opened 5 or more outlets. However, companies that began franchising operating multiple company locations had successful franchise growth. The lesson from all this? Operating company locations provides experience and capital when launching a franchise program.
- Our FDD database revealed that 40% of franchise systems had 25 locations or less and 53% of systems had 50 locations or less. This represents a significant opportunity for franchise development among the majority of franchise systems.
