Karriem is a franchisee for Little Caesars and a coach here at Franchise Empire.
After working together for a long time, we finally had the chance to meet in person and sit down to do a podcast.
We talked about what it's like owning a Little Caesars, and why Kareem probably wouldn't buy a food franchise if he could do it all again.
If you're looking to buy a franchise in 2025, I really recommend you watch this before choosing your franchise.
Sit back, take some notes, and enjoy the show.
