3 Reasons You Should Buy a Pizza Restaurant

Who doesn’t love pizza? Have you ever wanted to make it your career? There are some great reasons to buy a pizza restaurant — either an existing store or a new franchise.

1. Multiple revenue sources. Pizza restaurants don’t rely on a single type of customers. Instead, they can diversify how they get their product in their customers’ hands (or mouths). Dine in, take out, delivery or catering are four separate revenue streams which can be targeted to different types of customers.

2. Inexpensive marketing. Pizza restaurants tend to rely on a clientele located in a nearby area., These consumers can be reached by relatively inexpensive means — coupons to their homes or businesses, even text or email promotions.

3. There are unique benefits to being part of a franchise family. You get support from the franchisor, buying power to keep cost of sales low, group advertising campaign opportunities, brand-name recognition, and the possibility eventually to own multiple locations with the same business model and advertising.

Is the “baby boomer bubble” a myth?

The Business Broker Blog makes an interesting comment about a widely held opinion that there will be a glut of businesses for sale as baby boomers retire:

There’s definitely a certain logic to it, and age doesn’t necessarily dictate when it’s a good time to sell a business.  The blog also comments on the state of the industry — that sales are slow due to a lack of good listings. Also true, but we are certainly seeing things picking up in our neck of the woods.  We’ve added three new listings in the past week!  Check out our listings here: http://coldwellm-a.com/listings.html

New listing — and why should you buy a franchise, anyway?

Scott Sceili’s new listing (click here to view : http://tinyurl.com/38wqpgr) is a very well-respected auto service & repair franchise. So what are some of the benefits of buying a franchise?

Brand recognition — you are buying into an established, nationally known brand. The franchisor has, hopefully, put considerable resources into building a brand that consumers recognize and trust. That’s a lot of work and expense already taken care of for you.

Proven business model — you can see how successful other franchisees have been. Or not.

Support — franchisors typically offer on-going administrative, operational and advertising support. This can range from initial site selection and training to  advice on running your business day to day .
