Who it fits

Ideal candidate

Absentee ownership available: All our brands are able to be run semi-absentee from the start! But the franchise owner must 1) identify a manager that we’re comfortable with, and 2) the manager will go through training with the owner as if s/he is the one running the business. Provided those two hoops are jumped through, we welcome semi-absentee ownership!
