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!

This article briefly outlines some of the key factors -- brand identity, policies & procedures, expansion targets, and management systems -- that businesses need take into consideration when evaluating whether their concept is ripe for franchising.

What Are The Best Business Opportunities You Can Open Right Now?

When you should open your business is just as important as where you open it. Here are several resources and a spark of hope around starting a franchise in a down economy.

The Importance of Setting Clear Expectations

So my recommendation is as follows: As early in the relationship as possible, invest the time necessary to clearly describe the shared expectations for how you will work with your customers and, and how you will work with your employees. If you do this well, everyone will be on the same page and when you deliver something a little bit better than they expect, the will see you as someone they trust, like and want to be loyal to – a strong driver of success for any business.
