Let me get this straight ... these guys signed franchise agreements with McDonalds without knowing where the franchises would be located? Isn’t that like signing a contract without knowing the zip code where it’s located or how many bedrooms it has?
and its not just poor....its also the clientele if we can admit that...
They do. But it’s take it or leave it. McD’s makes a franchisee go through a lot before they get one of the good locations. You’ve first got to prove yourself in mid-volume low profit locations, then you get the relative vacation of low-volume locations (which have lower overhead and tend to make a decent profit) until finally, at probably your 7th or 8th location, you get something cherry. If you want to get on the path to making good cash as a McD owner you go where they say.
