What’s the deal with non-traditional franchise locations
Non-traditional locations are becoming an increasingly popular way to enter the franchise world and a profitable addition to existing businesses. You’ll find them in high-traffic areas where people gather or pass through, such as airports, highway rest stops, sporting events, concert venues, hospitals, government buildings, and college campuses.
The advantages are many—lower franchise fees, reduced startup costs, smaller real estate requirements, fewer staff to manage, and built-in foot traffic. This allows franchisees to minimize risks while maximizing rewards.
