Franchising 101


Franchising is a popular option for entrepreneurs. It involves entering a contractual agreement between a restaurant’s corporate owner (the franchisor) and the restaurant’s potential operator (the franchisee).

When an arrangement is made, the franchisee can use the restaurant’s brand, logo, and trademarked property on an existing layout of the company’s business model and operating procedures. The franchisor can also provide training and support to the franchisee. One advantage of becoming a franchisee is starting with a well-known brand without having to build one from scratch.

Here are three restaurants that have had success in South Texas but have yet to capitalize in Alamo.

A&W

Founded in 1919, A&W is the nation’s first restaurant franchise chain. It popularized drive-in restaurants and made root beer floats an international treat. A&W has expanded to over 600 locations in the United States and nearly 1,000 worldwide. In 2011, the brand was bought by a group of A&W franchisees and the company has since seen a growth of 33%, making it one of the most popular restaurants to franchise.
