Franchisor Appreciation Day

September 15

What is Franchisor Appreciation Day?

Owning and operating a business is no small feat and it can be quite daunting when a business owner is trying to do everything on their own. Franchising is an amazing option for the entrepreneur that wants to own their own business, but not be completely on their own. When a franchise owner feels supported by their franchisor, it can make all the difference in the world.

10.5%

of businesses in the US are Franchises

790,500

estimated number of franchised small businesses in the US in 2022

84%

of Franchises are “local” or “regional”

Franchisors understand that the process of getting a business off the ground can be overwhelming. With the necessary tools, franchisors can help the locations take their business to the next level. As such, the independent franchise owners are allowed the rights to use proven branding elements and standards, infrastructure, and support systems, and they are able to rely on the established reputation of the brand overall. Franchisors may offer a variety of support including real estate/construction planning, essential marketing, ongoing training and professional guidance because they want to see each business owner succeed and excel.
