I also like that to own a franchise you have to work as a manager for 2 years. New stores open and so far all have been immediately profitable. Due to the fact owners know their business.

I had a friend who wanted to buy a DB. He has a lot more money than me…. He offered a lot of money, they would not sell to him, regardless of investment or cost, unless he worked, at age 55 for them from the bottom up. That kind of thing is very rare and creates a team that not only is well trained, but has heart.

I just truly think it’s safer than gold to put your money with them.
