Don't  You Love Donuts? 

America Runs on Dunkin'? What do you run on? 

We all know brands such as Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme, and more!  But, what makes them SO popular?  Each brand competes in an industry of loyal consumers, exciting tags lines, and innovative menus to stay on top of the latest trends.  Also, each brand offers more than JUST donuts!  Offering selections of coffee and other drinks or food helps keep the customers happy.  Who doesn't love a donut and coffee in the AM? 

Knowing the extent of what a donut franchise offers, we know their presence must be pretty powerful. For example, a Krispy Kreme franchise has an annual profit per year of about $1.2 million with Dunkin' Donuts following slightly behind bringing in about $1 million. 

These franchises also offer low investment costs with high rewards, brand strength, and easy operations.  Making these donut franchises spots a hit!

The Griller franchise prevailed in its trademark infringement suit against The Original Griller. This was due, in part, to the fact that The Original Griller’s logo featured the word “Griller” more prominently than the other included words.

Why Should I Open a Franchise Rather Than Open My Own Business?

America has always been the land of free enterprise, and the prospect of self- employment may sound like a dream come true. Imagine the schedule flexibility, the freedom to explore and expand while pursuing an interesting career. The alleyways of entrepreneurship are so vast that it can be rather daunting to entertain. What is the right business for today? What product is in demand? Which business model is most profitable? What concept is most likely to succeed? Potential owners also must consider that franchising may be a better option than small business start ups. Yes, when entrepreneurship meets franchising, the parameters change. There may still be freedom, but new franchisees find themselves absorbed into a preset business model with a tried and true support system.
