Why Multi-Unit Franchise Ownership Matters
Multi-unit franchise ownership offers entrepreneurs greater revenue potential, stronger local market presence, and long-term wealth-building opportunities. However, Rob emphasizes that scaling requires careful planning — including honest self-assessment, strong staffing, and a deep understanding of market demand.
