What “Buying a Franchise” Really Means

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.”

Monica: “That’s great! So you bought a food franchise, huh?”

Jim: “Yes I did, and I can’t wait to open for business!”

He didn’t. He bought way more than that.

Do you see why the phrase “buying a franchise” doesn’t do justice to what you’re really doing when you purchase a franchise?
 
Here’s a link to the web page I mentioned in the video.
