Although it’s a fact that having the muscle of a well thought out franchise behind you will increase your chances of success forty fold, it’s also a fact that one of the biggest obstacles to someone acquiring a franchise is start up costs and then the cost of staffing it. This can be daunting and frankly that’s a shame because an awful lot of bright, hardworking individuals would surely have gone on to be major success stories in their organizations if indeed they could have overcome the hurdles of the financial and staffing demands.
This is one area that makes Famous Uncle Al’s hot dogs and grille so appealing both as a franchise and as an investment. Most people wouldn’t necessarily associate the two as being complimentary, but we beg to differ. If the start up costs to open a franchise is reasonable, and then you combine that with a product that is in great demand, and you finish off with a time tested system that allows blazingly fast training and even minimal staffing needs, you have the ingredients for a very successful franchise. But take that a step further. If the franchise is successful and the franchise is also a publicly traded company, doesn’t it stand to reason that if the franchise is a stellar success, the investors will be rewarded also? It certainly does.
Let’s look at it from not necessarily a different angle, but let’s view it from the proper angle. There is certainly no shortage of very well qualified people that would love to be successful entrepreneurs, but yet one of their biggest obstacles in creating a business is the “up front” cost, and then the employee cost once they launch their business. Famous Uncle Al’s, or FDOG as their trading symbol identifies them, solves that by offering franchise solutions custom fit to the particular business owner and the goals he or she has set. In a nutshell, the management at FDOG has a tremendous track record of putting good people in fast growing outlets, serving their food menus.
This is the secret ingredient that is being overlooked. If you can offer a high demand business, with a small barrier to entry and a high probability of success, you will attract a higher volume of start ups. Along with those start ups comes the franchise fees, and they add up to considerable revenues, in a very short period of time. Fees range from $17,500 for an individual to $50,000 for an area developer. Add in the 7% of net sales and it’s evident that with only a few high volume outlets, you are talking about millions of dollars to the company. Then, do as the creators of McDonalds or Burger King did and replicate that model, time after time after time. Soon you’re talking about very serious dollars.
Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs and Grille can be admired from several different angles. But considering that if they did nothing but offer ambitious success driven people a chance to own a desirable business, you can see how both come out winners. Add in the myriad of ingredients that FDOG has developed to make the businesses and, therefore, themselves a success, and you have a very interesting investment opportunity on your hands. Making money by helping other people make money, it really doesn’t get any better than that, except for the fact that the Hot dogs are fantastic too.
