always see lines at starbucks and the mark up is very high. If you live in a market with extra income, seems another good choice to me

man i just remembered i started this thread the other day! anyway yeah i was looking at a chick fil a but damn it is tough. i know a guy that owns a few subways that seems to be doing well with them. ive also heard that a zaxbys could be good in my area. i just didnt know if anyone here had done anything with one and if they were making money.

yeah I think they made some changes when I first looked into Chick fil

[h=2]Franchise Opportunities[/h] The Chick-fil-A franchise opportunity represents an exceptional offering in the quick-service restaurant industry. For an initial financial commitment of $10,000 for franchise agreements with an effective date after December 31, 2014, selected franchisees (who we call Operators) are granted the rights necessary to operate a franchised Chick-fil-A Restaurant business. Effective January 1, 2015, each franchised Operator will have the option to transfer his/her rights and interests under the franchise agreement to a business entity formed and organized by the franchised Operator for the purpose of owning and operating his/her franchised Chick-fil-A restaurant business. The Chick-fil-A franchise opportunity requires that the individual be free of any other active business ventures and operate the Restaurant on a full-time, hands-on basis.
Chick-fil-A Operators must successfully complete an extensive, multi-week training program prior to commencing operation of a franchised Chick-fil-A Restaurant business. With additional development courses and franchise support available, Chick-fil-A Operators are equipped to handle decisions and reap the rewards of a challenging business.
[h=3]Become a franchised Chick-fil-A Restaurant Operator[/h] You might want to continue researching an opportunity with Chick-fil-A if you:
  • Are looking for a full-time, “hands-on” business opportunity.
  • Have a proven track record in business leadership.
  • Have successfully managed your personal finances.
  • Are a results-oriented self-starter interested in growing a business.
  • Are prepared to have no other active business venture.

This is not the right opportunity for you if you:
  • Are seeking an investment or an equity position in a business.
  • Want to sell property to Chick-fil-A, Inc.
  • Are requesting that Chick-fil-A, Inc. build at a specified location.
  • Are seeking multi-unit franchise opportunities.
  • Would like to diversify your franchise portfolio

We have a Marco's Pizza opened up near me in Florida. I've never heard of them, but it looks like a nice size place
they go for $150K+

It happens to be in the same New shopping center as the Wing Stop

so for ex if i were to buy this franchise, does that mean i have to have 150k immediately/cash or assets or what? im also assuming id need a bldg or lease a place that is not included in this cost? im kind of skeptical since the numbers arent really adding up, esp when you first open. maybe im missing something or not completely understanding.

I don't own a franchise, but I am the #2 financial officer for a company with 46 franchise restaurants covering 3 different concepts. I could probably answer some questions.

They just flooded our town with both of these. Have yet to try either. Another I like that's got 1 location and only ask for $150k is Which Wich. It's simple, convenient, and quite good...
