Ask J431S any Business Question?

so what's your point of contention? BK is not appealing in some towns in the US? U must be kidding. The rule of thumb in any business venture is about being being the first in the market and how unique your service or product are.
So in my opinion if BK or any reputable fastfood franchise is absent in one community, this is a great call for profitable adventure, assuming all the protocols of the franchise are implemented right such as ontime supplies, well trained cooks, excellent customer service, and most important of all stringent cashflow oversight.

Not all communities are equally welcoming of franchise fast food restaurants. For example, I live in a disgustingly liberal place where much of the population possess a dislike for "big corporate America" in favor of small "local" firms. I think there's perhaps only a single McDonald's and one Starbucks here. Story goes that when they were constructing the Starbucks, the place was initially called blah blah blah coffee and owned by a shell company until the day before the grand openning when it finally swtiched to the Starbucks brand.

Also, the fast food franchise business isn't a particularly "unique" one. If anything, it's closer to perfect competition than anything else.

I can see how smal town politics could potential sabotage business innovations. But what they fail to acknowledge is that such franchise ventures will actually lead to job growth in their communities. Job growth in some cases reduce crime and increase commmunal prosperity.

Actually, I don't exactly live in a small town. The people here are just disgustingly liberal and obsessed with locally grown produce, organic ingredients, sustainable agriculture, collectively owned restaurants, and such and such . . . you get the idea.

If that's the case consider other business options that suit their needs. Successful business is all about customer preferences and buying power.

China is more capitalist than the disgusting liberals here. I'd rather go elsewhere. Thanks.
