quicksylva: Mr Biggs franchise is a "CAPITAL NO" for me. What's wrong in starting you own fast food company, I know quite alright that it's challenging compare to having a franchise with Mr Biggs but in the long run the gain supersede the challenges.

Quick reminder of people that have been in your shoe. They are now ripping the reward.

1, Kehinde Kamson: Founder and owner of SWEET SENSATION. The first location was at illupeju. She started from her parent house.

2, Folu Ayeni: Founder and owner of Tantalizer. The first location - festac town.

3, Olayinka Pamela Adedayo: Founder and owner of Tastee Fried Chicken (aka TFC). First location - Surulere

There are so many of them making their cool cash daily yet they didn't go into franchise with any fast food company e.g Delta Kitchen, Big Fish, Calabar Kitchen etc.

Just imagine those daily profit, 7 days a week, 12 months a year, 365 days a year and you won't have to share it with any individual or company because of one useless franchise. The juicy part of it all is that you get to own your Brand Name.

My advice to you - Establish you own brand name.

drake2005: The best way to approach this from a business and marketing standpoint is find out what brand/food chain is popular and patronized by locals in that particular state or nearby city. If there is no presence of a brand/food chain, then, going independent will be a viable choice. Always good to go with a brand. People; I personally,go to Mr. Biggs and other well known brands not because it is fancy, comfortable, tasteful alone but because there are rules set down by the franchiser(Mr. Biggs) and the franchisee(you) to ensure that food are prepared in a safe, clean environment. The franchiser assumes the role and responsibility for the purchase and delivery of your food produce and poultry.

Connoisseur: Hey guys/ladies, I dont know if this topic is better off here or in the business section.

I run a regular business but I identified the need for a fast food store around a developing town close to me. I know the idea will sell cos there isnt any store for miles around.
So, do anyone here know the requirements and qualifications for obtaining a Mr Biggs franchise?

Also for those who are into this kind of business, do you think acquiring a franchise is better or do one start just any fast food outlet in his name?

Thank you

Connoisseur:
I intend to include a very good bar/ joint. cos such dont exist around there too.

The original idea is to get the Biggs franchise, then a bar and carwash beside it and if things go well, a modest hotel within the vicinity.

Thank you for the responses and keep the ideas coming.

mitey: I'm surprised at some of the comments here. The OP has NO prior experience!

How do you expect him to know how to run his own outfit without first learning how to?

And what better way is there to learn how to run a Fast Food joint than to run an established fast food joint?


@OP, my advice will be to register for any of the franchises of your choice. Select the one that gives the best training and go for it.

After the training, if possible, opt out or cancel your contract. If it's not possible, no problem, use this experience to learn and give up your perfect location.

After getting the training, you can always get other locations which you can apply your training and establish your own outfits.

My two cents.

Connoisseur:

thank you for the response. your post was helpful.
But there are still some technical issues not available on the franchise page. Issue like the extent of their contributions and other details. I do not have experience in the food business, so I just wanted a little insight in order to know what am expected of.
