What is Franchising?
Basically, it's “a system for expanding and distributing goods and services – and an opportunity to operate a business under a recognized brand name,” according to the book Street Smart Franchising.
But franchising is about more than just an affordable way for franchisors to distribute their goods or services. The relationship between franchisor and franchisees is what truly sets franchising apart as a business model. At Express, this relationship is one of the hallmarks of our company’s continued legacy of success. Our business franchise owners, headquarters and field support, and leadership team are one family dedicated to a common goal.
What are the Benefits of Franchising?
- Control – Franchise owners enjoy the authority to steer their business and control their own careers.
- Flexibility – As business owners, franchisees have control over their day-to-day routine.
- Balance – Successful franchise owners often experience greater work-life balance because they can fully experience the control and flexibility of owning a business because of the support and training from their franchisor.
- Growth – The personal career growth opportunities for franchise owners are unlimited.
- Impact – Franchises like Express are in business for more than just the money. Each franchise owner is a part of a larger calling. A mission to impact the lives of individuals, businesses and communities.
Is Buying a Franchise Affordable?
Every franchisor is different in terms of the costs associated with purchasing and operating a franchise. At Express, the total cost of opening a franchise depends upon the market the opportunity is in. We have been named one of the most affordable high end franchises by Black Enterprise magazine. We have many affordable opportunities currently available.
