The Entrepreneur Magazine has profiles on the top franchises and regularly comes out with lists of top franchises. They have the information you need: contact information, company profile, number of employees, number of franchises in and out the United States for the past 5 years, cost and fees, training/support provided, as well as its rankings as measured by Entrepreneur Mag. \n\nAccording to Entrepreneur, following are the costs requirements:\n\nTotal investment: $71.7K-251.1K\nFranchise fee: $10K-25K\nOngoing royalty fee: 7%\nTerm of agreement: 15 years, renewable \nRenewal fee: $1K\n\nQualifications:\n\nNet worth requirement: $125K\nCash liquidity requirement: $60K\nBusiness Experience: Industry experience; General business experience \n\nYou may also want to request for franchise materials straight from Quiznos at  http://www.quiznosfranchises.com/request_franchise_info.asp\n\nQuiznos has always been ranked in the top 10 by Entrepreneur, and in fact it was ranked the #2 franchise opportunity for 2006. So I reckon its ROI for its franchisees is good, considering that it is one of the fastest growing franchises in the country today.\n\nHope the above helps\nIsabel Isidro\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com

Franchises are very expensive to get into and with all the rules you are essentially buying yourself an 80 hour/week job.  I suppose they have their benefits but the ones I looked into required you to be there all day every day for different specified times.  I decided against it and went with a small business, which still requires a lot of hours and dedication, but I still have the freedom to go away for a week if I so desire and the business won't fall apart without me.  I guess you have to decide how valuable your time is to you. Some people don't mind dedicating themselves to being at the store/restaurant all day every day, but that isn't for me.\nAlso, the income I earn is residual so missing a few days won't hurt at all, in fact the business continues to build itself and the earning potential is even higher than a franchise.  \nMy initial investment was $35 plus a case of product and my business is growing at an incredible rate.\nYou just have to weigh the pros and cons.

This is a business that you cannot do with very little dollars or zero-cost. A gym - especially for kids - would need all the safety devices and equipments. You need to invest in materials and equipment designed to help protect young ones and make sure that they are not hurt. Even the barebones fitness programs offered to toddlers by county recreation areas have padded mats and other safety devices. Gymboree, on the other hand, has foam slides, boats, and other fun stuff for the kids. The last thing you want is a lawsuit from angry parents whose kids were hurt in your gym class. \n\nI suggest you first research your market and find out what they offer. The web has made it very easy to check on your competitors. Entrepreneur.com has a list of franchises offering fitness programs for kids http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/cats/1,6587,12-12-0-CHILDFIT,00.html . While franchising may not be one of the options you are thinking, the site has a listing of your competitors - check what activities they offer, go to their websites and see how they are offering gym activities, etc.\n\nThen develop your own plan based on three things: what is not currently offered in the market that you think you can do; and what is currently offered but you can do better; and what can you realistically do based on your resources (the more limited your resources, the more limited your initial plan).\n\nYour startup costs will include the venue, equipment, and possibly personnel to help assist you in running your programs. If you will do the business from home, be careful not to run afoul of zoning laws (read: your neighbors should not complain). Customers will be coming and going into your house so you need to think where the cars of your 20 or 50 students will park at the same time!\n\nThe more you know about what you are getting into, the more informed your decisions will be and you will have a greater chance at success.\n\nGood luck\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com

hi, contact their corporate office (head office) \nIt is not cheap and to become a franchisee you have to abide by their company rules everystep of the way, if they have their own brand of coffee or one imported you cannot decide personally to use a second brand of coffee, ie., they want their chains to be the same., some are any where from 35000.00 and uppppp.  you also pay a franchise percentage of all income monthly. sounds fun heh? good luck, wish you the best, ( try and research the newer coffee houses they may have a lower francise fee and easier to get into, also if you are a woman try the prov. govt loans designed for women, "western diversification" for example

Traditionally, deli style restaurants outperform all other food concepts in the restaurant market. They simply have a higher profit margin on average. Pizza concepts run a close second.\n\nFor years, the three fastest growing franchises have been:\n1) Subway\n2) Curves\n3) Quiznos\n\nIt's no coincidence that two of the top three are deli restaurants. The third is a women's workout center btw.\n\nWhat really determines how fast a franchise will grow is not the quality of their product or service. It is the Return on Investment (ROI) for their investors and the size of the startup costs. The top three fastest growing franchises all have relatively low startup costs, $100,000-$600,000 depending on the location and the size of the store, with the averages being between $200,000 and $450,000.\n\nThere are however some downsides to starting one of the fastest growing franchises, one downside being market saturation. While the profit margin for deli franchises has always been high, Subways in the past have averaged 25-28% profit margins after royalties, these margins have been dropping fast in the last few years due to market saturation. Basically, most the prime locations are already taken. The growth of the franchises are outpacing new prime location spots being built. What's resulting is that new owners are putting top franchises in less than prime locations and the average profits on those stores are less than the owners were lead to believe they should be. Subway is currently under investigation for mistated potential earnings to their franchisees.\n\nUltimately, the best franchise isn't determined by which frachise has the best record, most profit, etc., though all that should be a consideration. If you really want the right franchise, find an area with plenty of expendable income and a need that is not met. Then find a good, profitable franchise that meets that need to open up. Creating a supply where there is already a demand is always the safest bet.\n\nIf you'd like some help choosing a franchise, or have an idea you think others would pay you money for, and want to build a plan to run and eventually franchise it, contact me.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

I never heard of them before. I don't want to discourage you. If you interested I think you should look at what you getting and what is will actually cost in both time and money. \n\nMy experience with a similar deal was that most people don't find that they end up losing money.

Look into the laws of Oregon. They may not be as business friendly as other states (imagine a state tougher than CA). This may be a real opportunity, the need is still alive but there are no franchses to sell the stuff.  Take advantage and open a look alike business, just don't name it Taco Bell.
