Ever notice how success seems to be in the DNA? One of my favorites in Sir Richard Branson. OK, he said to himself, I’ve got a great brand—Virgin—let’s see; maybe an airline, a chain of music and entertainment stores, a space tourism company, how about a mobile phone company? Well, John John Gennaro took men’s fitness into a 265 unit chain of workout studios, and has not brought the flavors of South America into a vibrant new presentation with Zamba Chicken. The conversation is about the genesis of a new concept, the development of the product, and branding—this is a particularly interesting aspect of our visit with John. Could Zamba be the next Virgin? http://www.zambachicken.com
Join The Franchise Show’s in-house legal counsel on all things franchising to discuss an area that often gets put on the back burner when creating or growing a franchise concept—the bricks and mortar decisions on where to locate the stores. Franchisors usually start with a great concept, an exciting brand, and an operational system that makes the concept work for franchisees ready to execute the vision. And franchisors usually start with a few great locations, often hand-picked by the founder. They’re successes, and the torch is handed to the franchisees to replicate the same caliber of location in their market, and the founder now becomes the CEO involved with layering in the marketing, operations, systems, and resources necessary to grow the company. Who’s got their eye on the bricks and mortar? Let’s get Richard and Marcus’s point of view! http://www.DuelLawFirm.com
