Franchising has been known to be around since at least the 1850s. One of the most popular early day franchising is John S. Pemberton’s very successful franchising Coca-Cola. Since then franchising has become more and more popular, picking up stream in the 1930s and now generating more than $1 trillion annually in U.S. sales.
With an already established system of business, franchises can give you a very quick start. This is an early advantage in your business if you want to skip the step of having to make a name for your business starting from scratch.
A branch of franchising which is a well-known kid magnet is ice cream franchises. (Although, you have to admit that they equally attract adults as well.) There are many ice cream franchises out there available, all with their own advantages and ranges of prices. Here are a few:
Baskin Robbins
