Which Franchise Restaurant Offers Better Success: Wingstop or Little Caesars? Answers: https://lnkd.in/g_UHAXPE #FranchiseTalk #RestaurantBusiness #Wingstop #LittleCaesars Hey everyone! 🌟 I’ve been diving into the world of franchises and found two restaurants that really caught my eye: **Wingstop** and **Little Caesars**. 🍗🍕 I genuinely believe both have potential to thrive if you play your cards right! Wingstop: Their growth has been impressive, and who doesn’t love wings? They’ve got a fantastic fan base and keep drawing people in, which is crucial for any restaurant seeking to franchise. Little Caesars: The appeal of “pizza pizza” is undeniable! With their affordable prices and quick service, they seem to attract lots of traffic too. From a business standpoint, I think both places could rack up considerable foot traffic, especially in bustling areas where people are always on the go and looking for tasty, quick meals. 🌍✨ So here’s my question for you: If you were given the chance to franchise one of these restaurants, which one would you pick? And why? 🤔 I’d love to hear your thoughts, insights, and any experiences you ...

Franchise finances can be surprisingly opaque. For Jemima McEvoy and I, it took dozens of sources to get a sense of how to best evaluate them. We've spared you the effort. Forbes examined four high-growth restaurant brands and estimated which ones give franchisees the most bang for their buck. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eb2nBB85

Freddy's reportedly considers a sale as franchise M&A heats up Jonathan Maze Restaurant Business Online Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is exploring a sale, according to a report by the news service Reuters on Wednesday, putting in play yet another high-growth name among franchise restaurant chains. According to Reuters, Freddy’s has hired the investment bank William Blair that could launch a sale process at a valuation of $1 billion. Such a deal would add to the growing number of franchised brands fetching strong multiples in a market that is otherwise unexcited by the restaurant business. This week, the private-equity firm Blackstone took a majority stake in the sandwich chain Jersey Mike's Subs at a valuation of $8 billion. Earlier in the year, the same firm snapped up Tropical Smoothie Cafe Smoothie at $2 billion. “The focus is on asset-light franchisors and businesses that have very good growth metrics,” Josh Benn, global head of the investment banking practice at Kroll, said at the Restaurant Finance and Development Conference last week. Freddy’s certainly fits the bill. It is one of the stronger performing fast-casual brands in the U.S., certainly among the burger names. System sales have grown an average of 14.3% the past five years, according to Restaurant Business sister company Technomic, Inc., including 14.5% last year. They neared $1 billion in system sales from more than 500 restaurants. Franchisees operate about 94% of the locations. The chain was founded in Kansas by Bill and Randy Simon with friend Scott Redler. The company was sold in 2021 to the private-equity firm Thompson Street Capital Partners. Thompson Street apparently believes the market is strong enough to warrant an exit from that investment in about four years. According to Reuters, Freddy’s could fetch a valuation of 20 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Freddy’s did not respond to requests for comment. https://lnkd.in/gQWec72G

In an interview for Delish's analysis of "The 10 Most Lucrative Fast Food Franchises Of 2024," I highlighted the importance of financial transparency and innovation in franchise selection. While strong brand recognition is undeniably powerful, as seen with giants like McDonald's, Subway, and Dunkin', I believe the fast food industry stands at a crossroads where evolving consumer demands and technology integration will redefine success. #FastFood #IndustryInnovation #BrandLoyalty

SIDE STREET FANS & FRANCHISEES HAVE THEIR SAY... Side Street Burgers is preparing to open more stores, welcoming two new multi-unit franchisees and their teams to the network. In the meantime, this is what our existing multi-unit partners had to say about their experience as Side Street franchise owners: "It has been an absolute pleasure working with the owners of Side Street Burgers in opening a franchise store. The support and guidance received by both Idrees & Yasir, and by their team, and their willingness to take on feedback, has made this entire process so much easier. They have a refreshing outlook to franchising which is rare to see. Furthermore, what has been truly inspirational for me as a franchisee is seeing and understanding their vision for the brand and their excitement towards it." Suhail, Walthamstow, Reading and Green Street (Upton Park) "I was looking in the market to bring something exciting and fresh to Bonnyrigg. This is one of the many reasons why Side Street and Us fitted so well. They are a brand who have exceeded our expectations from the moment we declared interest in Franchising. We will be opening more branches following the success of Bonnyrigg. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support we receive on a daily basis. The team at Side Street have consistently given us guidance on how to improve in the branch, and where we can make the 1% difference everyday to become better. The rapid growth of the brand is exciting for us and anyone else associated with them". - Ali, Edinburgh, Scotland "I’ve been following Side Street since their birth in 2020, watching how they’ve differentiated themselves from others who were serving Smash Burgers. My experience has been amazing, I now have multiple franchises with them and with every branch I have seen the same consistent support. Side Street has put in a structure from the top down, to ensure no branch is on its own from the start. It’s been a pleasure working with everyone, especially the proactive and creative marketing team." - Mubeen, Rochdale & Fallowfield, Manchester If that's not all, with the roll out of new products, let's hear what the fans had to say about the new American BBQ menu.
