But we’re all in this together, and their success equals our success, so making sure that they’re supported is our number one priority.”At the same time, says Eckles, franchisees need to understand that the day-to-day falls on them. “A lot of times, owner engagement is what really defines whether a store is going to be super successful or not. It’s not turnkey in the sense that you buy it and you wake up and it’s there. If you want to do that, just buy the stock.”Watch the full interview with Kat above, or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8JucpupLFU&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lessons-from-franchise-executives-kat-eckles-of-clean-juice-2716710" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here to watch it on YouTube</a>.
