(Grand Opening of a new franchise business)
In this post, I’m going to explain what the phrase “buying a franchise” actually means.
Meet Jim
Jim is was the Director of Marketing for a company that produced GPS products. Until he lost his job.
Meet Monica
Monica is the project manager who worked side-by-side with Jim. She still has her job.
A Recent Interaction
The following is a short conversation between Jim, the recently downsized employee and Monica, who was the product manager he worked with.
Monica: “So Jim, is it true that you’re buying a franchise?”
Jim: “It sure is, Monica. As you know, I liked my job, but this is the 4th time I’ve been let go in the last 15 years. I’m done.”
Monica: “Congratulations! What franchise are you buying?”
Jim: “I already bought it. It’s called ‘The Eggcitement Cafe.’ It’s a breakfast-only restaurant.”
