Guy Fieri Raised $21.5 Million For Struggling Restaurant Workers, And It's A Major Lesson For Brands McDonald’s Franchisees “Blindsided” by new charges for 2021 Pizza Factory Employee Becomes Franchisee Shuckin’ Shack: Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar grew out of a vision for a local establishment that would appeal to families of all ages. A place where friends and family can enjoy fresh, delicious meals and creative cocktails in an environment that exudes relaxation. Shuckin' Shack offers its guests a "lifestyle experience" in addition to exceptional seafood. The brand started as a 900-square-foot shack in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, in 2007 and began franchising in 2014. Until recently, 24-year-old Chris Perez says he’d never thought much about franchising. But after being laid off from Delta Airlines in March of 2020 due to COVID-19, owning his own business became an enticing prospect. With the help of Atlanta-based FranBridge Capital , a private equity firm specializing in home services brands, Perez recently made the decision to sign on with pool repair and maintenance franchise Pool Scouts* * as the general manager of four territories in the Atlanta market. With the number of people staying home and using their pools on an incline, Perez expects business to grow rather quickly. The young entrepreneur will be hands-on with his business servicing pools, meeting with customers and spreading brand awareness. If you see Jania Bailey, CEO of Frannet , at a franchise conference, she has this advice for convincing her and her team to move your franchise forward. The current crisis is not only accelerating the future… but also creating gaps connecting us to the past. Are drive-in movie theaters , board games , home-made bread baking making a comeback? Back to the big idea (above) - don’t over-index your business to the current crisis...you may be missing the next big opportunity for your business and brand! ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - franchise growth (topic) - Franchise Industry (sector) - McDonald's (company) - private equity (topic) - Pool Scouts (company) - FranNet (company) - Shuckin' Shack (company) - Pizza Factory (company) - business planning (topic) - Jania Bailey (person) - Guy Fieri (person) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/franx-youre-cheating-on-your-franchise-funnel-2714481).
