Because Money

Simply put, people are interested in becoming a McDonald’s franchisee because they know they’d make millions of dollars. But how?

How do they know that owning a McDonald’s franchise will enable them to become millionaires?

In other words, where is it written?

What’s more, where are the facts?

Oh wait…I know.

The information they’re talking about is located on the franchisee’s tax returns. It’s right there in black and white. They’ve obviously* seen them with their own two eyes. (Riiiiight) And Ray Kroc AND Joan Kroc were (multi) millionaires…so there’s that.

*I’m really trying to keep my sarcasm in check.

Nonetheless, this is an important topic, as it’s about expectations.

That said, if you were interested in buying a McDonald’s franchise, would you expect to make a million dollars? It’s the million-dollar question (pun intended).
