We roast our own turkey. We make our own soup. We make our own salad dressings. We make every omelet in a pan. We get top-of-the-line items. We don't cut corners on food. That's the big differentiator between us and our competitors.”But that focus on quality doesn’t just apply to the food. “When we use the word ‘quality,’ we are really talking about a premier product,” said Famous Toastery President <a href="https://dddilaw.keap-link008.com/v2/click/fda1f55edb2d6d483a988f908b1cd572/eJyNkE9PwzAMxb9LuDb0z1o6epumaao6dkBwRl7iqhFtEiUuqJr63Ulh7ATSjs9-_vnZZ0aoQVMtWcWklKqHTxYxh0JZhZq2RhOI73axzpOHiPVKv--dGS2rzn8PXx1LfZUURR4xmiwG08vzZtvUx_3boT42wWrBhSW3kcpylWdX0u5pUx_YPP-LxkHR7iPQPavIjbgcJVU4jF5dH_wdkfVVHKfrIm0daNEpj_fCDHELgxk9GfCEbrpI_qs5aG1GLdBzRZ5bh17JsIYPSnSAPR_gtLg8v1I5qCFI43iR8FEvY6eJZ0mW86xMy_wxvWsRaAwBQ3CwFrW8PL7B6Sf-_AUEZpBT?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-winning-doesnt-have-to-be-1000-units-2718695" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michael Mabry</a>. “That can mean having quality franchisees and operations. In order for us to live up to our brand promise, which is to ‘Be Famous,’ we have to be able to put our quality first, which translates throughout the entire brand.”The brand’s franchisees, who have grown throughout North Carolina since opening in 2005 and franchising is 2013, have become locally famous as pillars in their communities, providing not only uncompromisingly fresh and decadent meals, but a hub for friends, families and neighbors to get together.

Is it selling one more franchise? It is selling 1,000? Is it hitting a sales volume, as a franchisee? Is it scaling your business?We are taught, from a very young age, that if you aren’t growing, then you’re dying – and, the great Ricky Bobby said, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”. But is that true?Sometimes, it’s difficult to take a step back and find the pinch me moments – the little wins. Sometimes it’s difficult to look at the bigger picture. Sometimes it’s hard to look at deal value, and enterprise values, and long-term investment that equals greater return.This is life.Many franchisors think winning is immediate sales. It’s not. It’s sustainability – meaning, wouldn’t you rather have a franchisee who is capable of operating 10 units than 10 franchisees who can’t scale and only own one? As a franchisee, aren’t you taking this giant risk for the opportunity to build more wealth (over time not tomorrow) for your family?We have talked about thinking about the exit, and working backwards. There may be value in backcasting and forward casting as we turn past a third of the year.&nbsp;
