Q- What type of experience do I need? There is no magic background. Some franchisees have retail experience, sometimes specifically in food service. This can be helpful but is not essential. The most important ingredient is the desire and commitment to succeed, as well as the ability to communicate and get along with people.
Q- What about finding a store location? We will help you find a location. Our method is to develop a list of available sites and then pick the best from this group. You may also lease or purchase a location on your own. We do recommend you have your lease or purchase agreement reviewed by an attorney before signing.
Q- Who designs and builds the store? We will provide you with a set of criteria. You will choose and hire an architect who will design the unit and advise you concerning local codes and regulations. We will approve the final plans. Our store opening team will work with you and your architect to provide the right equipment package in the kitchen.
Q- What type of store opening support can I expect? Our initial training involves two weeks of classroom and hands-on training in our Long Island offices. After you "graduate," our store operations team is with you every step of the way for another 7 days at your new store to help make your opening a smooth operation and your grand opening as successful as possible.
Q- Can I buy a territory? We do offer protected territories. The area of protection will depend on competition, demographics and other locations with our brands. The area is defined by radius or zip code.
Q- Can I co-brand with other concepts? Yes, provided your choice meets our criteria. We currently co-brand with our own brands Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips and Pudgie's. In addition, we co- brand with Miami Subs and Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs.
