Franchisor obtaining Franchisees

The popularity continues to be for franchisors, specifically for openly exchanged ones, money and much more of the corporate possessed stores. Why? The financial argument continues to be that salary is stable by controlling a franchise operation (simple earnings streams) instead of controlling the nuances of local operating companies. And, typically which makes sense both financial and practically.

One company who's bucking that trend is Swisher Hygiene, acquired in 2004 for under $20 million by Steven Berrard and Wayne Huizenga…the team behind AutoNation, Blockbuster and Waste Management. While their business haven’t all been types of success aside from AutoNation, they've grown business fast making lots of money. Berrard seemed to be Boss of Jamba Juice.

You most likely haven't heard about Swisher Hygiene. The organization sells inexpensive chemicals and cleaning services to business, especially foodservice and restaurants, like the 3-compartment sink systems where EcoLab has typically centered. In 2004, it had been making typically $17 each week per customer, having a base around 30,000 clients. They think the chance within this $9 billion marketplace is in growing sales to every existing customer and obtaining brand new ones. Swisher also was an amalgamation of 93 franchisees all exercising of the trucks. Now, they acquired the majority of their franchisees, most lately their Chicago franchisee.

The stock has fluctated greatly previously year if this went from $2 to $10 per share, now it’s down again to about $5 per share.

I have no idea when they will succeed, but it'll make to have an interesting example eventually. Hopefully the franchisees who required a buyout with stock is going to be best compared to they were as franchisees.
