## Story

In an interview with FSR Magazine, Shak Turner, Melting Pot’s senior director of franchise development, discussed the brand’s strategies for dealing with its franchisees, along with its plans for future expansion.

For Turner, the main focus is providing support to franchisees in all phases of the business. “We wanted to continue to move forward with the company on operations and marketing and development,” Turner said. “The programs are really designed to ease that burden or to just assist or help them and say, ‘We're in this with you together.’”
