Really expensive.Turns out that Luxottica Group has dominated the eyewear industry.

They built a direct relationship with their customers.2020: The year of family connections.2021: The year of human connection.Everything is accelerating and the BIG idea — building a direct and human connection with your customers.<h2>News You Can (Actually) Use</h2><a href="https://dddilaw.infusion-links.com/api/v1/click/6514817358233600/5983631852699648?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-franolutuons-a-franchise-way-of-saying-goals-2714617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">NFL Player Paid in Bitcoin</a> — Will this be a growing trend?

Plus, Green Homes offers innovation that has not yet come to the U.S. Sure, we’re focused on energy efficiency, solar panels, etc., but building a green home from the ground up really doesn’t exist here in the states.GH Builders offers franchisees a unique opportunity — to dominate local home construction markets. Best of all, you don’t need construction industry experience.Definitely an opportunity to check out.<h2>Franchisees Kicking Ass: The Franchise Is King</h2><h4><a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-great-franchisee-ryan-tepsa-toppers-pizza-superior-wi-2714526">Former Toppers Delivery Driver Ryan Tepsa Opens Second Franchise Location in Wisconsin</a></h4>16 years ago, Duluth, Minnesota-native <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryantepsa/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-franolutuons-a-franchise-way-of-saying-goals-2714617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ryan Tepsa</a> got a job delivering pizza for a local franchise called <a href="https://www.toppersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-franolutuons-a-franchise-way-of-saying-goals-2714617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Toppers Pizza</a>.

What would you tell Michael J. Franchise?Yo, there is going to be a pandemic where your life, your business and your norm will be completely disrupted.Robert Cresanti is going to be out at the IFA.Papa Johns will make a resurgence.Go buy some stock — like Peloton, anything to do with the home (Wayfair), Tesla, and a whole bunch more because the bubble is not poppin’ yet.Thousands of restaurants will close in 2020. Ugh.Bitcoin is exploding. Mortgage your house, your wife, your kids, and put it all into bitcoin.Sports will be played in bubbles, without fans and without players (opt-out).A vaccine will be created in record time.Franchise Knowledge for $100, Alex. RIPIt’s been a year, FranXers. Ready to make 2021 better?
