ATLANTA, July 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franchise Direct, an international leader in the area of franchise lead generation and information, recently released its Food Franchise Report 2018. Presented annually, the report is a detailed study of the current state of food-related franchise businesses, summarizing some of the latest happenings in the industry at large and providing potential franchise investors with details to guide them in their search.
Designed to have something for franchise industry novices as well as those with more industry knowledge, the 2018 edition of the report covering the franchise industry’s premier sub-industry is loosely structured into four segments.
The first segment covers the types of food franchise categories, emphasizing that franchises commonly crossover between categories. It is followed by a look at in-house generated graphics depicting the last five years in food franchise establishment growth, annual output year-to-year, and year-to-year employment for the United States.
The trends segment gives readers a better grasp on the issues shaping the present and future of food franchising. This year, the trends segment expands into three areas: the recent increase in food franchise acquisitions by holding companies, the phenomena of food franchise brand refreshes for continued relevancy to customers, and how several franchises have decided to slim down their menu selections for better operations.
As always, the report concludes with detailed investment information for potential franchise investors. The segment includes a peek at estimated initial investment ranges and royalty fees for a sampling of top franchise brands, including Domino’s, McDonald’s and Subway.
