Trust always affects two outcomes: speed and cost. A strong franchisor-franchisee relationship is driving sustained performance results at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. My message is common sense. But common sense is not often common practice.
Those attacking the franchise model do not understand it, may not realize the ramifications of their approach. While the International Franchise Association, with the help of some franchisors and their franchisees, has done a tremendous job of fighting back these challenges so far, it can’t —and shouldn’t —carry the burden alone. Every franchisor and franchisee should be a part of this effort.
