The largest wildlife protection provider in North America — with numerous territories served in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec and British Columbia, and two franchise locations in Wisconsin —&nbsp; is excited to bring its much-needed services to more parts of America.Next on its list for targeted growth is the Atlanta, Georgia, area. Many factors make the metropolis a great contender for a Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control franchise to operate in.Atlanta is the most heavily populated city in Georgia, with the 2020 census showing nearly half a million people calling the state capital home. And that number is growing; reports show that over 100 people move to Atlanta per day. Home construction has been rising to meet the influx of people, with Georgia spending $11.6 billion on residential construction in 2020,&nbsp;<a href="http://metroatlantaceo.com/news/2021/07/georgia-spending-7th-most-construction-construction-worker/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=skedaddle-humane-wildlife-control-seeks-to-grow-in-the-atlanta-metro-area-2719638" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.&nbsp;</a> Where there are homes, there are critters that need removal. And the larger the property, the more places for wildlife to enter and hide. Atlanta has the seventh largest homes in the county, a Clever Real Estate shows, meaning the services that Skedaddle offers are highly in demand.&nbsp;“Every single city and suburb in the U.S. needs Skedaddle. We aim to have hundreds of locations across the U.S., in larger metropolitan areas and cities like Atlanta, where there are pervasive issues with animals like raccoons,” said founder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/williamdowd_pest-control-business-franchise-support-activity-6877341543598972928-SqIn?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=skedaddle-humane-wildlife-control-seeks-to-grow-in-the-atlanta-metro-area-2719638" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bill Dowd</a>.&nbsp;Dowd is confident that Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control will quickly become a top service company once it enters the Atlanta market due to the brand’s unique approach that is different than other companies that simply trap the animals. These methods end up resulting in 70% fatality rates. Skedaddle humanely removes the wildlife, keeping family units together and animal-proofing the entire home with a lifetime guarantee. This differentiator has proven to be a game-changer in other areas the franchise serves.&nbsp;“We want to recreate our success launching in Toronto four years ago, where the franchisee now has almost 20 service trucks and over $3 million in sales. We've proven that going into a large metropolitan area is definitely scalable,” said Dowd.&nbsp;&nbsp;The initial investment to franchise with Skedaddle Wildlife Removal ranges from $89,100 - $232,600, including a $49,500 franchise fee.

The founders of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chillnicecream.com/franchising">Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream</a> have spent years perfecting the flash-frozen dessert equation. But as the brand nears the 20-unit mark and expands into multiple states, it’s narrowing its focus. In a strategic move to align ownership with a new phase of national growth,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/growth-club/chill-n-nitrogen-ice-cream-franchise">Chill-N</a> has announced its offering three of its established South Florida locations — Weston, Aventura and Fort Lauderdale — for resale.&nbsp;For CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidleonardo/">David Leonardo</a>, the decision isn't about moving away from these markets. It’s more about putting the stores into the hands of those best equipped to take them to the next level: owner-operators at the local level.<h2>Shifting Focus to Support the System</h2>The resale of these three high-traffic stores signals a transition for the Miami-based brand. By divesting about 50% of the company-owned portfolio, the corporate team can redirect its resources toward supporting the broader system."The founders of the brand and the owners of those stores have not only assisted me. We’ve created a partnership in growing this franchise," Leonardo said. “They’ve been so busy with franchise growth that they’d really like to see a franchisee take over these stores and assist us with developing neighboring markets. It’s just the right move.”By hanging onto the stores that are geographically closest to the corporate headquarters, the brand remains lean and agile. Leonardo noted that the divestment sends a clear message to the rest of the system: corporate is fully committed to providing top-tier marketing, operations and technology support to franchisees.<h2>The Advantage of an Established Footprint</h2>For a prospective franchisee, the appeal of a resale often comes down to timing and certainty. Building a new location in South Florida is a notoriously long process, often taking nine to 18 months to clear permitting and construction. But a resale allows an owner to bypass that wait and step into a business with an existing contact list on day one."You have an existing customer base," Leonardo said. “You have reviews, regulars and trained staff. While there will always be things like marketing, operations and cleanliness to tweak, you can do that much faster than starting from scratch.”Beyond the time savings, the financial entry point is also often more accessible. While new&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/growth-club/chill-n-nitrogen-ice-cream-franchise">Chill-N</a> builds have recently averaged around $300,000, Leonardo noted these resale opportunities will likely cost less. The brand’s priority isn't a high sale price. It’s finding a partner who can provide the boots-on-the-ground energy these 10-year-old locations deserve.<h2>Finding the Right "Local Flavor"</h2>While the liquid nitrogen process provides the wow factor, Leonardo believes the success of a neighborhood ice cream shop depends on the person behind the counter. The ideal candidate for the Weston, Aventura or Fort Lauderdale stores is someone who prioritizes the customer experience and community involvement."Our model is better suited for owner-operators,” Leonardo said. “It works for people who are more involved in the local community, doing activities, fundraisers and birthday parties.”This person might be a corporate professional looking for a career change, a local coach or a hospitality veteran. The goal is to find an owner who will drive ROI through tighter cost controls and grassroots sales growth (areas where a local owner typically outperforms a distant corporate office).<h2>A Roadmap for Future Growth</h2>Success for these stores under new ownership looks like a mix of immediate operational wins and long-term expansion. Leonardo points to the brand's Pembroke Pines, Florida location as a blueprint. Following a transition to a more present owner, the store saw a significant spike in sales and a reduction in waste.The ultimate goal for the incoming owners of the Weston, Aventura and Fort Lauderdale stores is to use them as a springboard. "If, within six to eight months, the owner comes to us and says, 'We’re ready for that second store,' that’s when you know the transfer worked and the owner is doing very well," Leonardo said.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chillnicecream.com/franchising">https://www.chillnicecream.com/franchising</a>.About Chill-N Nitrogen Ice CreamFounded in 2012 in Miami, Fla. by South Florida native Daniel Golik, Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream is one of the first liquid nitrogen ice cream concepts in the nation. The first store opened in the Village of Pinecrest and today the brand has nearly 20 locations in Florida, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee, with nearly a dozen stores in the development pipeline. Each serving of ice cream is flash-frozen before the customer's eyes while utilizing the brand’s high-output technology, software and hardware to produce a faster and more consistent scoop. The proven business model and investment in automation reduce labor costs and allow owners to focus directly on customer support and community engagement.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential. But by grasping and guiding the elements that drive franchise profitability, franchise owners can maximize overall business earnings, scaling a business that’s sustainable financially over the long term.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?

<a href="https://hardeesfranchising.com/">Hardee’s</a>, a 65-year-old burger chain best known for its Thickburgers and breakfast biscuits, is facing a fast-moving round of closures driven by a franchise dispute rather than a bankruptcy filing.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">Inc. recently reported that</a> 77&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-hardees-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2721286">Hardee’s</a> restaurants are expected to close within two weeks as one of the brand’s largest franchisees exits the system.&nbsp;According to the report, Hardee’s is suing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arcburger.com/">ARC Burger</a> — a franchise operator owned by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.highbluffcap.com/">High Bluff Capital Partners</a> — alleging the company fell behind on required payments and other contract obligations. Twenty-eight locations had already gone dark as of late December, with remaining sites scheduled to shutter across eight states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina and Wyoming.&nbsp;At the center of the complaint is the franchising “stack” of ongoing fees and pass-through costs that keep a system running. ARC Burger allegedly owes more than $6.5 million, including royalties, advertising fund contributions, technology and training fees, rent and taxes, and that payments stopped in December 2024. Hardee’s also argued in the lawsuit that the franchisee’s cash flow was not being used to bring accounts current.&nbsp;Hardee’s, for its part, is framing the shutdowns as a contractual enforcement issue, not a brand-wide retrenchment. “These closures are a result of ARC Burger’s failure to cure its defaults under its franchise agreements, despite solid sales,” a Hardee’s spokesperson said.&nbsp;The situation highlights a familiar franchising pressure point: unit economics. Inc. reported that Hardee’s operates more than 1,800 U.S. restaurants and that average annual sales per location are less than $1.2 million, well below averages cited for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-wendys-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2722520">Wendy’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-a-mcdonalds-franchise-2724654#stories">McDonald’s</a>. Lower volumes can leave franchisees with less room to absorb higher labor, food and occupancy costs while staying current on fees.&nbsp;Hardee’s said it is working to limit fallout for workers and communities and is looking for ways to reopen closed restaurants. For franchising, the next chapter will likely involve finding replacement operators, transferring sites and rebuilding compliance — a reminder that franchise growth depends as much on franchisee solvency and execution as it does on consumer demand.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?
