There are hundreds of restaurant concepts in America, but the three that seem to be on the top of everyone’s list to franchise are Chipotle, White Castle and Chick-fil-a. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t get a request to help secure a franchise with one of these three concepts.

Unfortunately, all three are dead ends when it comes to franchising. To start off, neither Chipotle or White Castle sell franchises. All of their stores are owned by the parent company. But, hey, there’s still Chick-fil-a, right. Probably not.

Below is a link to an article, aptly titled:

If you are interested in someday becoming a Chick-fil-a owner, please read the whole article including how Chick-fil-a defines “ownership.”

But don’t worry, there are hundreds of other great restaurant franchises to choose from. Why limit your options?
