Unpredicted Entrepreneur Episode 61: Why Own Multiple Locations?

“All three of these buckets are very viable reasons to attend this conference. 

The first one is you're already in a brand with multiple locations, you're not really interested in another brand, but you want to keep growing the locations you have either through organic growth or acquisitions, and you want to learn how to do that better with less stress, cheaper. This is a conference for you. 

The second is, you may be in a situation like my brother and I were where we had built out our Little Caesars market. There were no more locations available. It was time to find another brand. This is a great conference to go to because all the big brands that want to deal with and appreciate multi-unit operators are here.

The third one is you don’t want to add any more locations because you’ve grown as big as you’d like to be and you don't want to add any more brands, but you'd like to figure out how to get out of the country for two or three weeks without the place burning down. This is also a person that needs to attend this conference. There are a lot of business and life hacks that are taught, shared, and disseminated through either the keynote speakers, the panels, or one-on-one interactions in the hallway and in the vendor area with other successful franchisees who are doing the exact same thing that you want to do. When I first attended, I think I had about 10 locations of all the brands. I'm close to 50 now. I started asking questions to the people who had 50 to 100 units. How did you get there? What did you do? They were so willing to tell me everything. I almost felt bad because I really didn't have much to offer in return back then because their experience was so much greater than mine.”

We all have to start somewhere in business. Jesse and his brother started with one Little Caesars location and now they own 50 locations within multiple brands. If you’re someone who wants to grow a big business or portfolio of businesses, this conference could offer a lot of encouragement and some great tips on how to get there. 

We cover many current and relevant topics. A few include:

◈How having accountability can make you a better business owner

◈The importance of understanding who your customer is and who your employee is when considering what type of business you’d like to own

◈Getting the support you need to become a multi-unit franchisee
