Hamburgers! And electrical contractors! And vitamins! Oh My!
All of us can probably recall the excited and shocked responses of Dorothy, the Tin Man, and Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz when they learn of what they might encounter on their way to the Emerald City. “Lions! And Tigers! And Bears! Oh my!” The world of franchising is a little like that. Pretty much the entire range of products and services offered for sale in the United States can be franchised.
If you have an interest in the world of franchising, we at Fox Rothschild hope that this new blog will become a regular stop for you. We bring a multidisciplinary approach to franchising because, while franchising has its unique aspects, we have also learned that franchise businesses confront opportunities, changes and challenges similar to those facing any other business. Here you won’t find only a discussion of the regulatory aspects of franchising, but diverse topics including business finance, employment, litigation, and the protection of intellectual property like trademarks and copyrights.
Franchising is as unique as the people and businesses who engage in it. Franchising is hamburgers, and electrical contractors, and vitamins. And ice cream, and janitorial services, and jewelry, and hotels, and auto service, and lawn care. Oh my indeed. Mostly, though, it is about vision. Your vision. We look forward to joining you on the journey toward making that vision reality.
