Thread: Up and coming franchises?

If it was possible I would open an In N Out Burger in Wrigley ville here in Chicago and keep it open till 5 am on weekends.......I'd be driving a Bugatti in a year!

But in all seriousness every in n out I have ever been to seems to be packed from open till close especially ones near universities. I do not understand why the owners have been so adamant about keeping the company exclusive to the west coast as they make and amazing product that would be successful nationwide without a doubt.

I was just going to say the same thing. In N Out would be absolutely huge here.

Hopefully they decide to move away from the exclusivity and expand in the upcoming years.

Burger Fi , they are suppose to be grain fed cows for their burgers. Someone on L4P opened one in Ft.Lauderdale about a week ago.

They are planning on it. I inquired a couple years back and was informed it was still a family owned chain and they planned on keeping it that way and slowly expanding it

I saw an ad about Burger Fi in the Robb Report. Ive been really curious about it. Has anyone tried it? Is it as good as they say?

I wish we had all these food franchises over here. ALL we have thats any good is Mcdonalds for fast food and Subway which is the better, more expensive healthier option. Then coffee places such as starbucks and costa. THATS IT!.

And it's funny because people think that it's healthier than regular ice cream (which is why I assume this fad is so popular) and it's not. Especially when half your cup is nothing but toppings.

Know this thread is kind of old, but what about gas stations? Anyone have any experience with these? I know Chevron and BP franchise... People will always need gas. It seems like this business would be all about location, location, location.

Same here in AZ. In the three years that I have been hear I have watched 4 pop up in my city. 4! Must be a cheaper business to run?

I live in Washington state and we don't even have one. I think it was a brilliant way to market this chain though. Keep it exclusive and pack each franchise in every day.
