    I mean I understand, but honestly I think if they can’t survive in the area they should just close shop. If it was too much of a bother corporate would subsidize but, this would also allow for more local alternatives to potentially appear. We don’t have a mcdonalds for a solid 40 mins from where I live, or any corporate/franchise chain, and the ma/pa food places are a nice change compared to going into more populated towns

      Understood, but the point I’m trying to make is that these franchisees are small businesses. They can’t access the billion dollar capital that McDonald’s corporate has.

      You have to treat franchisees as small businesses, because besides the name, they pretty much are.
