I suggest you perform a bit of research before you comment.
I have done the research. “Franchisees” don’t own the location — Chick-Fil-A does. The “owner operators” pay $10,000 for the privilege, and then get a share of the profits. But they are VERY rigorously screened. Here you go.. a little research.

Now, tell me how your research is different?
