It absolutely amazes me that a pizza franchise can startup and compete with the likes of Pizza Hut, Dominos, Little Caesars and so on, but seemingly Mark’s Pizzeria is having no problem. Just look at the number of locations they’ve started: http://www.markspizzeria.com/locations.htm.
I would be very interested in hearing from a few franchisees regarding their experience and opinion of this franchisor. If you could help others understand how a pizza franchise is successful in the face of such daunting competition it would really help to promote your brand name.

Now this looks like a great concept, and I’ve received an inquiry as to whether it could be featured because a friend is considering a purchase. After looking at numerous children’s franchises, this seems to combine a few very popular concepts. Namely, a gym, art & music.
It doesn’t compare to a local company called KidzWorld that combines (or more likely steals) the concepts of numerous child focused companies and combines them. Gyms, art, music, build a bear, hair cuts, and more.
Which begs the question… Is this where these numerous kid focused franchises are headed? I definitely foresee a “Super Kidz World”, where you get everything in one place. Heck, maybe I should work on that :-) In the mean time, could we hear from some Romp N’ Roll owners regarding their experience with this franchise?

After a recent conference it was widely accepted that the way to make a franchise work was to work 60-80 hours a week, and do everything yourself because no one will care about it as much as you will.
To me… that seems ridiculous? Am I the only one?

I took a look at the cost of an Ink A Dink franchise initial investment disclosure and it seems like it is quite high for what in my thoughts would be very hard to market, not to mention setup an appealing store front for such a niche product line. I know ink is quite expensive, but national retailers like Staples, OfficeMax, and more offer this same service. How does this small franchise have a plan to compete with companies of that scale?
