This Week's Topic: "Would You Like Fries With That Franchise?"
When I think of franchises, I think of the golden arches and happy meals as a kid. I remember watching the number of burgers sold increase every time we drove by the sign and wondered if they would ever hit the one billion mark. Obviously, that was a long time ago! Since then, all kinds of franchises have popped up. Whether you are thinking of buying a franchise or turning your business into the next McDonalds, we'll supersize your knowledge of franchising with advice from our cast of business experts and guests. For the ultimate combo, be sure to catch the second hour of the show on Saturday morning!
