Franchisees, IFA Board Member, on Buying a Franchise

Mary Caraccioli, host of Mary Talks Money, explores franchise ownership in a video that features partners Bobby Pancake and Steve Wheat, Buffalo Wild Wings multi-unit franchisees, and Lane Fisher, board member of the IFA (International Franchise Association) and franchise attorney.

Pancake and Wheat (real names, Mary says) met while working at the Buffalo Wild Wings head office, where they oversaw 80 locations in 13 states. Deciding to become franchisees themselves, they signed a commitment to open five restaurants in five years. The pair say they hope to eventually have their own independent restaurant concept.
