To help answer this franchising query, we speak with Andy Johnson, a Neighborly multi-brand franchisee, and David Boddy, a Tutor Doctor multi-unit operator. Both provide the benefits of their business models, as well as some of the challenges that arose along their development journeys.

And finally, franchise-focused motivational speaker Scott Greenberg closes out this month by looking back on his time as an Edible Arrangements franchisee, and what lessons he believes entrepreneurs can learn to set themselves up for success. You won’t want to miss this.
