No. She's trying to be. Her and he husband run one but they aren't the owners.

But yeah it's more suburban than rural but it's on the border.. you can see the country in the distance. Obviously the average person who buys is gonna have to live in the suburbs somewhere which might seem kinda lame but the flip side is you and 8 other people pitching in to pay some rich(er) guy's mortgage for his condo or whatever

Wtf? That's all you NPR zombies who think civil rights is letting rich black people into the big boys club. My side knows it's empty idpol and don't care.

I know they said she didn't have enough experience or whatever but do you think she just didn't have as much money to throw around as a venture capitalist with a business degree?

You know they're not all railroad tycoons right? The point still stands. A bigger fish than her. I mean it is kind of weird to keep your franchisees to the limited pool of people who have both spent many years at the same restaurant and have also saved up enough to buy a restaurant.

I don't know that much about the process but from what I know they expect you to have like 10 or 20k to put in if you're going to start one. It's not about extracting some large cash payment in advance from whoever the highest bidder is, the company doesn't want their franchises to go under or to give their brand a bad name so that's why they're picky. They're intrinsically invested in the success of the franchise. They make more from a successful operation than someone just willing to bribe them to jump the line.

So picky that only people who've put in a rare amount of time and saved up a rare amount of money for someone working that job are allowed to become franchisees? How many McDonald's do you think there'd be if they were that strict? Maybe her company would rather have someone with a net worth and background that more strongly suggested this was just their first of many franchises.
