Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.alec.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-25-worst-state-economies-for-franchising-2713999" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The American Legislative Exchange Council</a> (ALEC) released its thirteenth edition of <a href="https://www.alec.org/app/uploads/2020/08/RSPS_13th-Edtion_State-Pages_final.pdf?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-25-worst-state-economies-for-franchising-2713999" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rich States, Poor States</a>, a series that ranks states’ economic competitiveness and outlook within 15 state policy variables. To determine what this data means for the franchising industry, 1851 Franchise analyzed the report to share the 25 worst states for franchising.The report features two different rankings: Economic Outlook and Economic Performance. Both examine the policy choices made across the U.S. from 2008 through 2018 and whether those choices have improved economic competitiveness in each state. Additionally, the rankings are based on 15 criteria including factors like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, population migration, payroll employment, personal income tax rate, corporate tax rate, property tax burden, sales tax burden and state minimum wage. The report also outlines which policy choices encourage economic opportunity and which create difficulty for growth in certain states.In the latest edition of Rich States, Poor States New York is ranked as the state with the worst economic outlook in 2020 based on the state’s standing in the assessment's state policy variables, followed by its neighbors Vermont and New Jersey.

Instead, their decisions are based on interest from franchisees or general desire to simply grow for the sake of growth, which has the potential to be harmful to the success of their brand.&nbsp;“Most franchisors spin the globe and put their finger on it, and wherever it stops is where they say they’re going to grow,” said Powills. “Or, franchisors take a shotgun approach — wherever the prospect is that inquires, they will entertain that marketplace.”&nbsp;Powills goes on to explain that brand awareness is another important element that determines growth potential when it comes to certain brands — a factor that the report does not address. He cites Toppers Pizza as an example of a franchise with huge growth, but only at the regional level.&nbsp;“For the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchisee-success-toppers-pizza-2317">Toppers Pizzas</a> of the world that grew in concentric circles in Wisconsin and saw higher unit-level sales over other pizza brands nationwide, brand awareness was a main factor,” said Powills. “If that brand goes to Florida, they won’t have the same impact. When deciding where to grow, it is important to look at surrounding states within a car-ride’s distance that are performing well from an economic competitiveness, taxation, home value and consumer value standpoint. Evaluate each neighboring state and use it to decide where those franchise development dollars should be allocated. If Utah is number one, but you're based in Wisconsin, you still need to consider brand awareness when deciding where to develop.”&nbsp;Looking at the report further, it’s clear that states that are spending less and those that are taxing less experience higher franchise growth rates than those that tax and spend more. For a state like New York, whose personal income tax progressivity is nearly four times higher than Utah’s — the state with the best prospective economic outlook — and top marginal corporate tax rates are 17.26 percent compared to Utah’s 4.95 percent, it’s clear to see why an opportunity for franchise growth may not be the most promising.“If you can find gaps in the marketplace and make the dollar more profitable, then yes, that should be a factor in how you consider your growth modeling,” said Powills. “As a franchise owner, you are already sending five percent of your income back to the franchisor in royalties, so if you can find areas of the country where business taxes are lower, you should take advantage of that knowledge. These are data points that should be taken into consideration by franchisors developing a growth model, as lower taxes can create a more attractive investment opportunity not only for prospects, but also for the franchisor.”Furthermore, Powills points out that there are additional elements that determine what makes a brand more attractive and successful in one area more than in another, elements that when paired with the data from these reports can be a helpful tool in determining franchise growth; these include things like consumer happiness and a franchise candidate’s “hustle” and commitment to success at the brand level as well as at the personal level.&nbsp;“Utah is No. 1&nbsp; in the report year over year, over year. That means consumer happiness is higher, that means the dollar stretches farther. To me, that says that’s a state you should be developing in,” Powills said. “At the end of the day, it will always be about finding the right candidate. There are sometimes insights that may help a franchisor, but at the end of the day it’s up to the franchisee to be a hustler.”For franchisors and their brand’s prospective franchisees who are looking to recover from and grow amid the economic devastations surrounding COVID-19, it's about pinpointing the right area for growth that may be the most important element in success. Based on the data from the report, in states where the dollar doesn’t stretch quite as far as it does in others, the opportunity has much less appeal, especially now.&nbsp;“In order to recover, franchisors can increase their state qualifications overall and increase the areas where they look for and evaluate prospects,” said Powills. “When it comes to markets where the dollar stretches more, brands should take this time to utilize this data to get the most out of their investment. When brands take these insights and combine them with other factors, such as consumer demand or support, they can cross-apply it to their growth model.”

According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">recent release</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://rf-partners.com/">RF Investment Partners</a>, a group focused on flexible capital solutions and value-add support to lower-middle-market businesses, has teamed up with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.burlingtoncp.us/">Burlington Capital Partners</a>, a group focused on family, founder and operator-owned lower-middle-market businesses, to acquire a prominent multi-territory&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.neighborly.com/precision-door">Precision Garage Door Service</a> franchise.The investment marks the seventh platform for RF within the service space. Precision Garage Door Service, which is part of the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://www.neighborly.com/">Neighborly</a> ecosystem, specializes in the installation, maintenance and repair of garage doors.&nbsp;“We are proud to partner with management and the Burlington team to support continued growth by investing in people and operational excellence,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fidler-6787143">Peter Fidler</a>, managing partner and co-founder of RF Investment Partners, said in the release. “The sector continues to present compelling opportunities given the essential nature of garage door repair, and we look forward to building on Precision’s strong foundation to drive long-term value.”This deal is part of the broader trend toward institutionalized multi-unit and multi-territory operators. Previously, franchising was largely viewed as the place for “mom-and-pop” businesses. And while franchises remain small, local businesses, the aggressive entry of private equity firms focused on operators (franchisees) rather than the brand (franchisor) is bringing new energy to small business ownership.Read the full release&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

<a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/">Yum! Brands</a> is considering a potential sale of Pizza Hut and plans to close 250 underperforming U.S. locations, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">recent article on Simply Wall St</a>. For the franchising industry, the significance is less about the stock and more about what it says about how large franchisors are managing brand portfolios in a high-cost operating environment.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pizza-hut-franchise-deep-dive-2722519">Pizza Hut</a> is one of the most recognizable names in franchising. If Yum! decides to sell it, that would be a notable shift for a company built on a multi-brand platform. For years, large brand groups have argued that operating multiple concepts creates advantages, including shared resources, stronger purchasing power and the ability to invest in technology across the system. A sale would suggest Yum! believes those benefits no longer outweigh the effort required to improve Pizza Hut’s performance.The planned closures may have the most immediate impact on franchisees. When a franchisor reduces its footprint, it can change how the brand performs in local markets. Fewer locations can mean less convenience for customers, which can hurt overall traffic. It can also weaken the effect of local advertising when there are fewer restaurants supporting promotions in the same trade area.Closures can also affect store-level economics in ways that go beyond the locations that shut down. In some markets, remaining franchisees may pick up some displaced demand. In others, customers may switch to competitors. The changes can also affect local co-op advertising budgets and, depending on how purchasing and distribution are structured, can influence costs tied to volume.The move comes as competition in pizza remains intense, with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-dominos-pizza-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2725506">Domino’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-papa-johns-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724607">Papa Johns</a> continuing to push delivery, digital ordering and value-focused offers. Simply Wall St notes Yum! has been rolling out its Byte digital platform across brands. If Yum! changes Pizza Hut’s role in the portfolio, it could also change where the company focuses its technology and marketing investment.For franchise systems watching from the outside, Yum!’s review is a reminder that growth is not always the main priority. Sometimes the bigger decision is whether a legacy brand can be improved inside a platform or whether it will perform better under a different owner and a different plan.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tractnumerouno/">Craig R. Tractenberg</a> recently wrote in an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.law.com/thelegalintelligencer/2026/03/24/ftc-secures-17m-settlement-against-xponential-fitness-for-franchise-disclosure-violations/">article for The Legal Intelligencer</a> that the Federal Trade Commission secured a $17 million settlement against&nbsp;<a href="https://www.xponential.com/franchising">Xponential Fitness</a> over alleged franchise disclosure violations, a case that could send a clear message across the franchise industry about the cost of incomplete or misleading pre-sale information.The FTC’s complaint took aim at multiple aspects of Xponential’s franchise sales process, including how the company framed the path to opening. Franchisees were led to expect they could get a studio up and running within six months. In reality, many spent more than a year trying to open, and some never got there. That delay left some franchisees carrying unexpected costs such as rent and interest payments before they could generate revenue.Federal regulators also alleged that Xponential failed to disclose material background information about key executives, including prior fraud lawsuits tied to a former CEO and a bankruptcy history involving a former president of franchise development. The complaint also alleged that Xponential did not fully identify former franchisees who had left the system. In some cases, the contact information it provided was outdated, limiting what prospective buyers could learn during due diligence. Regulators also said the company failed to provide franchise disclosure documents within the required 14-day review window before collecting money or signing binding agreements.Under the proposed consent order, which remains subject to finalization by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Xponential would pay $17 million to provide relief to affected franchisees. The order would also bar the company from making similar misrepresentations and require full compliance with the FTC Franchise Rule going forward.For the broader franchising industry, the case could have a lasting effect even if Xponential proves to be an outlier. It reinforces that franchise growth cannot come at the expense of clear, timely and accurate disclosures. It may also encourage franchisors to take a harder look at their FDD practices, executive disclosures and sales language before regulators do it for them. For franchisees, it is a reminder that legal review matters, but it also shows how vulnerable buyers can be when critical information is never disclosed in the first place.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.law.com/thelegalintelligencer/2026/03/24/ftc-secures-17m-settlement-against-xponential-fitness-for-franchise-disclosure-violations/">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

The $17 million case against Xponential Fitness could sharpen compliance expectations across franchising and raise the stakes for pre-sale transparency.

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?
