The establishment offers fine-dining-inspired selections presented in takeout boxes, designed to cater to the modern consumer's need for fast, high-quality meals..&nbsp;In a recent article talking to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchisetimes.com/kitchen-royalty/takeout-gets-a-french-chef-spin-at-gregoire/article_39d262a8-40fe-11ee-8568-177ada2e8137.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-times-takeout-gets-a-french-chef-spin-at-gregoire-2723717" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Franchise Times</a>, Jacquet explained that his passion for cooking blossomed at a young age. “I learned to love and appreciate food early on,” he said. “At 6 years old, I was already in the kitchen with my mom, making blood sausage.”This passion led Jacquet to pursue a culinary path that saw him working in esteemed kitchens around the world, including the Ritz-Carlton, before establishing his own restaurant&nbsp;<a href="https://gfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-times-takeout-gets-a-french-chef-spin-at-gregoire-2723717" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Grégoire</a> in 2002. The restaurant’s menu reflects his appreciation for premium, housemade ingredients and locally-sourced produce, offering a range of premium sandwiches, entrees and soups, with a twist of gourmet.Grégoire, initiated in a modest 500-square-foot space, managed to do $1.54 million in sales last year, leveraging Jacquet's commitment to culinary excellence and operational efficiency. Now, Jacquet is looking to share that business model and expand the reach of his culinary creations through franchising. He plans to support franchisees by operating a culinary hub kitchen to handle most of the preparation, ensuring consistency and alleviating the need for franchisees to bear chef expenses.“Because we use high-end products, and everything is fresh, it requires special techniques, and I don’t want franchisees to have that chef expense,” Jacquet said.Jacquet emphasizes the importance of partnering with franchisees who share his passion for food and his commitment to quality, customer service and employee well-being. To encourage referrals, Jacquet is offering a $10,000 reward to customers who refer a candidate who eventually signs a franchise agreement.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchisetimes.com/kitchen-royalty/takeout-gets-a-french-chef-spin-at-gregoire/article_39d262a8-40fe-11ee-8568-177ada2e8137.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-times-takeout-gets-a-french-chef-spin-at-gregoire-2723717" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.The cost to open a Grégoire franchise ranges from $240,794 to $357,370.

A new study indicates that United States companies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/ai-drives-worst-october-layoffs-in-over-20-years-6748836/">cut more than 150,000 jobs this month</a>, the most positions cut in October in over two decades.Generally, the U.S. job market sees an increase in positions as the holidays near, with seasonal and temporary jobs ramping up in areas like retail, food service, hospitality, warehousing and logistics. But Amazon announced this week that it will lay off 14,000 corporate workers (cuts which could wind up being the largest in Amazon’s three decades) in addition to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/united-parcel-service-ups-q3-earnings-report-2025-stock-jobs-layoffs-1d954f75">nearly 50,000 jobs dropped by UPS</a> in 2025.Conducted by outplacement firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.challengergray.com/">Challenger, Gray &amp; Christmas Inc.</a>, the new study states that the October cuts are the most significant since 2003, as the rise of the smart phone was beginning to take hold, upending the way business is conducted fast.What’s in play this time and how can it impact franchises?<h2>The Rise of AI</h2>Like smartphones before it, the brisk onset of AI is continually shaking up the way American work gets done.Overall, the U.S. has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2025-11-06/us-companies-announce-most-october-job-cuts-in-over-20-years">lost more than one million jobs</a> in 2025 (the most since COVID radically altered the work landscape five years ago). Recent U.S.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/ai-impacts-in-bls-employment-projections.htm">Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers</a> indicate that AI could take a particularly quick hold in the computing, business/financial, architectural/engineering and legal sectors.&nbsp;Historically speaking, as jobs disappear amidst layoffs, franchising has generally highlighted a road forward for those looking to invest in and take more control of both their futures and careers.<h2>The Impact on Franchising</h2>While the food industry continues to experiment with ideas like robotics and automation in an effort to simplify repetitive kitchen tasks and streamline processes, AI is typically utilized for two reasons: the quick delivery of data and improvement of overall work efficiency.While franchised restaurant chains have begun attempting to incorporate AI as part of a more convenient drive-thru experience, there’ve been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgyk2p55g8o">hiccups</a>.&nbsp;But using AI to deliver reams of data insights has proven to be an invaluable tool when it comes to identifying trends, delivering more accurately-targeted marketing efforts while improving digital ad optimization, potentially boosting overall business.In terms of improving services like scheduling and inventory management, AI can have a positive impact on the work experience while enhancing productivity.&nbsp;On the customer side, AI-generated data can help franchised businesses better personalize the services offered to their customer base. It can also double as a much quicker way to assess areas for improvement as assessed via customer feedback and reviews. Chatbots and virtual assistants can handle ideas like customer inquiries and even reservations, simplifying processes while improving the overall guest experience.&nbsp;<h2>What’s Next?</h2>Like most tech, the onset of AI is progressing quickly in a largely unabated fashion.Even with the holiday package shipping season approaching, AI seems to be at least partially responsible for 2025 cuts in the warehousing and logistics sectors (as evidenced by significant recent cuts at both Amazon and UPS).&nbsp;While speculation tends to vary, some studies indicate that AI could eliminate&nbsp;<a href="https://fortune.com/2025/10/07/100-million-jobs-at-risk-of-elimination-senator-bernie-sanders-report-ai-kill-40-hour-workweek/">more than 100 million jobs</a>, especially in the entry-level or low wage sectors, over the next 10 years.But while areas like computing seem to face imminent peril, the franchising world continues to provide options for the independent-minded entrepreneur looking to take control of their futures and career.&nbsp;Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/ai-drives-worst-october-layoffs-in-over-20-years-6748836/">here</a>.For more recent news on AI’s impact on franchising, check out these related articles on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/ai-is-reshaping-franchising-100-billion-valuations-and-hyper-localized-advertising-2729847#stories">AI Is Reshaping Franchising: $100 Billion Valuations and Hyper-Localized Advertising</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-franchise-brands-can-prepare-for-the-rise-of-ai-driven-advertising-2729548#stories">How Franchise Brands Can Prepare for the Rise of AI-Driven Advertising</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/coffee-and-analytics-ai-can-supercharge-your-franchise-content-marketing-2728309">Coffee and Analytics: AI Can Supercharge Your Franchise Content Marketing</a></li></ul>

According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/unemployment-benefits-jobless-claims-layoffs-labor-4ff37fae1b29ac0a0e58830feba45e76">recent Associated Press article</a>, recent Labor Department data reveals a unique “low-hire, low-fire” landscape. While weekly jobless claims rose by 8,000 in the first week of January, at a larger scale, they remain relatively low. However, the trend indicates a cooling labor market. The United States gained 64,000 jobs in November, and the unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.For the franchise industry, the low-hire environment is creating a surge in corporate escapees. While there are still the “wide-eyed dreamer” investors at play, there is a rise in sophisticated professionals seeking more stability and control.This presents a few key implications for the industry:<ul><li>A New Talent Pool:&nbsp;With white-collar hiring slowing, franchisors have an opportunity to welcome experienced corporate professionals who no longer view the salaried position as the safe option. The decrease in white-collar hiring also points to an opportunity for those just launching their careers. Many young professionals are looking beyond the traditional corporate role, which now feels more uncertain, to explore opportunities in industries like plumbing and electrical services — often things clearly positioned as “AI-proof.” For franchise owners in the service space, this will broaden the labor pool and decrease hiring pressures. &nbsp;</li><li>Increasing Popularity of the “Boring” Business:&nbsp;With unemployment rising, those looking to franchising for increased stability are looking for just that. Though some entrepreneurs choose their franchise based on the specific product or service offered, many choose based on their long-term vision. Brands that offer recession resilience and revenue stability will thrive in the coming years, offering the predictability corporate roles currently lack. &nbsp;</li><li>Strong Development Potential:&nbsp;The time to invest is now, and franchisors need to both communicate that and prepare their own teams for upcoming growth. By aligning messaging with prospects’ current concerns and positioning franchise ownership as a smart financial play, franchisors can catch the attention of people who have lost faith in the current job market.</li></ul>While recent reports signal a cooling economy, the franchise industry is positioned to act as a safety net. As traditional employment becomes more unstable, proven franchise systems offer the structure and stability both displaced and otherwise uncertain professionals aim to reclaim.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/unemployment-benefits-jobless-claims-layoffs-labor-4ff37fae1b29ac0a0e58830feba45e76">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity Visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.1851growthclub.com">www.1851growthclub.com</a> and start your journey.

<a href="https://pieology.com/">Pieology Pizza</a> has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following a failed attempt to acquire and rehab underperforming franchise locations. The California-based brand, which was once celebrated as a leader in the “build-your-own” pizza space, filed earlier this week.The filing comes after a gamble to save its footprint, which evidently backfired. Earlier this year, the corporate group made a push to acquire nearly 30 franchised locations that were on the brink of closing, but it did not have the capital necessary to drive a full turnaround.According to court documents, external investors who had previously committed to funding the acquisition withdrew support at the last minute, and without this liquidity, the corporate entity drained its own reserves trying to support continued operations.While this move was a contributor to the brand’s financial struggles, it’s not the only hurdle cited in documents.“Severe disruption due to the pandemic and subsequent economic environment, including labor shortages, inflationary cost pressure and rapidly shifting consumer behavior” also contributed to the decline, co-founder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carl-c-a9b60b6/">Carl Chang</a> noted in the filing.The bankruptcy filing lists liabilities between $1 million and $10 million, including significant debts to landlords and state tax authorities.&nbsp;Notably, the filing only impacts the company-owned entities. The remaining 29 franchisee-owned locations are not part of the Chapter 11 process.Read more about the bankruptcy&nbsp;<a href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/pieology-pizza-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy">here</a> and the role underperforming locations played in it&nbsp;<a href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/how-pieologys-attempt-rescue-restaurants-contributed-bankruptcy">here</a>.

Many people see their pets as part of the family. With that mindset becoming the norm, services like day care and quality boarding are no longer seen as extras, but as an important part of giving pets a happy, healthy life. This shift, coupled with a rising “do it for me” mentality and increased need for care due to return-to-office mandates, positions daycare and boarding concepts very favorably.For entrepreneurs looking to break into the industry and cater to growing demand, these 15 boarding and daycare franchises are great opportunities for 2026:<h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-happy-cat-hotel-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2722849">Happy Cat Hotel &amp; Spa</a></h2><ul><li><a href="https://happycatfranchising.com/">Franchise Website&nbsp;</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/growth-club/happy-cat-hotel-franchise-costs">Growth Club</a></li><li>Investment Range: $398,000 - $878,000</li><li>Unit Count:&nbsp;12</li></ul>Happy Cat Hotel &amp; Spa carves out a unique and underserved niche in the pet care market by focusing specifically on cats.

But if you’re wondering how to buy a franchise with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-rise-of-chick-fil-a-americas-number-one-chicken-franchise-2727483#stories">Chick-fil-A</a>, you’ll quickly realize that this opportunity comes with a unique set of requirements — and not everyone qualifies.<h2>Chick-fil-A Franchise Requirements</h2>Chick-fil-A is different from most restaurant franchises because it doesn’t take a large amount of money to get started.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-cost-2715278#stories">The franchise fee is $10,000</a>, and applicants don’t need to show a specific net worth or liquid assets. The lower cost, however, comes with a trade-off. The company has one of the toughest application processes in franchising and places strict rules on how the business must be run.To be considered for a Chick-fil-A franchise, applicants need to show that they can legally run a business in the United States and have a solid professional background. The brand generally looks for people with at least five years of work experience and some history of leading teams. A clean financial record is important, too, since anyone with a bankruptcy on file won’t move forward in the process. The $10,000 franchise fee has to come directly from the candidate’s own funds rather than loans or gifts. On top of that, operators are expected to commit to the restaurant full time, which means stepping away from other active business ventures and putting all of their focus into building and leading their Chick-fil-A location.Candidates also need to be fluent in written and spoken English and commit to full-time, hands-on involvement in the restaurant. In fact, Chick-fil-A expects its franchisees to divest from any other active business ventures so that they can focus entirely on operating their location.Meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Chick-fil-A receives tens of thousands of applications each year but approves only about one percent, making the opportunity one of the most competitive in franchising.<h2>A Hands-On, Operational Model</h2>One thing that makes Chick-fil-A stand out is how it expects its restaurants to be run. Owners can’t just hire managers and step back like in many other franchises. Instead, operators are expected to be hands-on with the daily business.Chick-fil-A also keeps more control over key parts of the operation than most franchisors. The company chooses the location, builds the restaurant and provides the equipment. The operator’s main role is to deliver excellent service and lead a team that meets the brand’s standards.This is not a passive investment or a multi-unit opportunity. Chick-fil-A intentionally limits each franchisee to a single location, ensuring that operators are deeply engaged in leading their restaurant and contributing to the surrounding community. For many, this model is appealing because it emphasizes leadership and culture-building rather than simply financial investment.<h2>Why It Matters</h2>For people thinking about franchising, Chick-fil-A’s requirements show why the brand is both appealing and difficult to get into. The low cost to start, the strong name recognition and the sales numbers make it one of the most appealing restaurant franchises out there, but the rules and competitive selection process make it a tough opportunity to land.On the other hand, the strict operational structure, high profit-sharing arrangement and extremely competitive application process can make it a tough fit for entrepreneurs who want more flexibility or who prefer to run multiple concepts at once.If you are considering how to buy a franchise with Chick-fil-A, it’s important to carefully evaluate whether you align with the brand’s expectations. The operators who tend to do well are the ones who like being in the restaurant every day, working with their team and serving customers. For people who want to be closely involved in one business, the Chick-fil-A model can be both profitable and satisfying.For more info on Chick-fil-A, check out these related stories on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/chick-fil-a-takes-the-crown-as-the-nations-premier-chicken-chain-2727486#stories">Chick-fil-A Takes the Crown as the Nation’s Premier Chicken Chain</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-owning-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-2725069#stories">The Pros and Cons of Owning a Chick-fil-A Franchise</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/chick-fil-a-emerges-as-the-leader-in-the-us-chicken-chain-industry-2727457#stories">Chick-fil-A Emerges as the Leader in the U.S. Chicken Chain Industry</a></li></ul>
