Mcdonald’s Franchise: Franchising the Dream

When it comes to becoming part of a franchise, you want to be part of one that will work well with your goals, understand your vision for success within the franchise network and will allow you to grow as a franchisee.  Effective franchise investors look for brands. What is that one particular franchise that works well with a variety of store locations, building designs and offers strong economies of scale? McDonald’s of course!

 

McDonald’s is a wonderful franchise to work with if you’re considering going into the franchise business itself. There are many factors to consider when you’re working on getting into the business. Items such as how the selection process works, what the branding will be and if you see it being successful in your community. Take a look below at a few reasons why McDonald’s is such a great franchise to work with.

 

Location

There are many stores around the country that offer franchise opportunities, or perhaps you have a place in mind for a new building altogether. You’ll find restaurant opportunities in locations such as shopping malls, even in tollways, and in your neighborhood. The building design is set with what goes in the community. You may have a unique design as you want to be different from the surrounding markets, or you may have the more updated traditional design where people are familiar with the layout of the restaurant itself.

 

Franchise Relationship

When it comes to working with the franchisee, McDonald’s does a great job in working with the owner/operators. You can receive great training from those who have gone before you and been successful with this ever popular brand. You will be able to be a part of your vendor negotiating process to make sure everyone is on the same page. You’re never left alone to fend for yourself with this company. There are many business contacts to help you along the way in making this your best franchise yet.

 

Branding

Let’s face it. Everyone knows those Golden Arches. They know what the sign means and have typically had fond memories of McDonald’s. They may stop by simply for the nostalgia of the past when to grab their favorite Quarter Pounder and fries. McDonald’s is also bringing in new healthier options for those who are health conscious to feel welcome as well. Branding is critical in a business as it is representing who you are. You want to be with a franchise that knows how to brand and how to get the brand out there.

 

Selection Process

The selection process with McDonald’s includes a large down payment from non-borrowed funds. That means you should be prepared with your down payment before negotiations get started. There’s also fees that are paid each month. Most often you’ll find that you would purchase an existing store from a current owner/operator and very rarely would you purchase a completely brand new store.
