Support That Goes Beyond the Basics

Training You Can Trust: Every franchisee completes a two-part training program. First, you’ll spend 1 to 2 weeks at our headquarters in Rocklin, CA, learning operations, customer service, sales, and back-office systems. Then, our launch support team joins you on-site for 1 to 2 weeks to make sure you’re ready to thrive.

Operational Guidance: Our team provides hands-on support with food preparation protocols, staffing suggestions, pricing strategies, daily operations, and reporting tools. We simplify processes instead of complicating them.

Marketing With Muscle: You’ll receive branded materials, promotional support, and access to coordinated national campaigns. We provide you with consumer-facing marketing plans and strategies designed to drive traffic and establish powerful brand awareness from the outset. We also help you design and approve local marketing strategies tailored to your community.

Smart Sourcing: We help franchisees manage vendor relationships and maintain ingredient quality while keeping costs under control.

Site Selection Help: You’ll receive guidance on finding the right space, ideally between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet in a visible location with strong foot traffic. We assist in evaluating demographics, parking, and layout potential.

The Numbers and the Neighborhood

Protected Territories: Each franchisee receives a defined, exclusive territory, typically a 3-mile radius or a population base of 50,000, whichever is less. We work with you to ensure optimal spacing and market potential.

Fred’s Burger was built to be accessible for first-time franchisees, with modest startup costs and strong early ROI potential.
