Yesterday, I was able to attend a free seminar put on by some of the fastest growing franchises in the country.  Their goal was to find new investors to help them expand their business and their networks.

I sat and watched some of the top franchise opportunities being pitched to us from a multitude of different industries.  We learned about the minimum investment to get into these franchises as well as the expected return on investment.

I was sad to see no Starbucks franchise presentation, but it was later explained to be that they do no franchise individual stores – rather all their stores are company run.  So, my dream of owning a Starbucks went out the window.

At the end of the day and the presentations, we had question and answers sessions to answer all our questions.  I did manage to take home information packages from Subway and Dunkin’ Donuts – I will have to look them over before I make my decision, but they both look very promising.
