We now have even more reason to believe that owning and operating a franchise business will continue to be the wave of the future. Industry experts are forecasting at least a 2.2% growth in franchising this year. Given this sunny outlook, it’s not hard to see why Island Fin Poke continues to utilize a franchising system to grow and prosper.
Why is Franchising So Popular?
There are many reasons, but one of the best selling points for franchising is that it gives people a chance to own a business without needing to totally invent every aspect. For example, here at Island Fin Poke, we recruit people to open new restaurants by training and mentoring them through our proven business model, which is successful all over the country.
The franchise business numbers don’t lie. This is one component of the economy that’s really booming.
- In 2021, franchise employment grew 8.8%, the equivalent of about 46,000 new jobs every month.
- This is especially prolific in the American Southeast, the place with the most franchise businesses. Franchises in that region employ 2.6 million Americans and contribute $235.9 billion to the economy.
- Many franchise businesses, like FastSigns, experience much lower turnover rates contrasted with non-franchise operations.
- The Top 10 states for franchise growth in 2022 are Texas, Florida, Arizona, South Carolina, Idaho, Tennessee, North Carolina, Utah, Montana, and Nebraska.
This is an especially popular way to do business in the restaurant industry. Roughly ¾ of all restaurant businesses are franchise companies, including popular chains like McDonald’s.
