Three Ways to Prevent Franchisee Unrest

Franchise owner-operators share their thoughts on what would have turned their frown upside-down at UnhappyFranchisee.com. Here are three top ways franchisors can create happier franchisees.

1. Do not encroach on franchise territories. It hurts the franchise store's business when the franchisor sets up a shop down the block or oversells to the point where there is a glut of franchise shops.

2. Build brand awareness and image. Advertise.

3. Create a franchise agreement that is fair for all parties

Honorable mention: Enforce compliance standards equally for all franchise owners
