“The franchising model, at its core, is about empowerment. It’s taking folks who aspire to do their own thing and be their own boss but not be on an island. Obviously, at Freddy’s, with only 50 operating groups and 400 restaurants, our franchisees see value in what we do and how we support them along the way. But for me, I think that’s the foundation before you start thinking about all the dollars and cents. It’s the concept of empowering people to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves.” - Chris Dull, President and CEO at Freddy’s
