McDonalds minimum was $650k about 5 years ago...
The fees gave gone way up. The biggest requirement is the access to cash. You have to have enough to be able to stay open for a long time even if you’re losing money.
It’s also very expensive to open a convenience store with name brand gas such as Shell or Exxon. Again, with that much money in Pakistan they’d practically be royalty. Where do they get the money? And why are they being allowed, and assisted, to come here and buy franchises that Americans want? I KNOW a small town where the area is all white and some very wealthy people wanted the franchise. It went to a Pakistani. The Pakistani family are the only ones in town. They moved there once the store opened.
This is one reason I stopped eating fast food. Way too many are owned by filthy people who wipe their butts with their hand. It’s hard to find a Caucasian owned Wendys. Plus, the food sucks.
By posting these facts I am now officially a racist. Of course, I already was official when I publicly disagreed with Obama and supported Trump.
