Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

DID YOU NOW

  1. The number of franchise establishments currently in the United States is approximately 750,000. All of these businesses directly employ well over 8 million people combined, with Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and Table/Full Service Restaurants accounting for approximately 50% of all jobs in the franchising industry.
  2. Albert Singer is widely considered the father of modern-day franchise model, particularly in the United States. Singer is credited with being the first to develop a franchise contract in the mid-1800s in order to help him distribute his sewing machines across the country.
  3. Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s, learned the franchise restaurant business under Colonel Harlan Sanders of KFC while working at locations in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thomas would later earn the money to open up Wendy’s by way of profits from an ownership stake given to him by Sanders for turning around underperforming KFC locations in Columbus, Ohio.
  4. There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys. The “Five Guys” behind the burger chain are actually five brothers from Alexandria, Virginia who founded the restaurant, originally a carry-out only burger joint, in 1986.
  5. Pinkberry rotates its flavor offerings several times a year. However, there is one flavor that is always regardless of the time of year – the frozen yogurt shop’s “Original.” Pinkberry also offers more than 30 toppings for its yogurt to customers.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
