Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ten of the largest franchise systems in the United States. One question: what do their own disclosure documents actually reveal The 10 Largest Franchises of 2026 examines Subway, McDonald's, Dunkin', Taco Bell, 7-Eleven, Domino's Pizza, Coverall, Wendy's, Burger King and The UPS Store using their 2026 Franchise Disclosure Documents.The differences are substantial. Initial investment ranges from under $18,000 to more than $4.3 million. Royalty structures that look similar at first glance are calculated on very different bases. Some systems provide detailed historical sales data; others provide projections, limited financial information, or no financial performance representation at all. Unit trends also vary, from sustained growth to multi-year contraction.Each chapter follows the same structure so the systems can be evaluated consistently: - initial investment and fees- ongoing royalties and advertising obligations- Item 19 financial performance disclosures- Item 20 unit growth and contraction- year-over-year changes- comparisons with relevant franchise benchmarks- questions worth asking before moving forwardEvery figure is tied to the FDD, state version and source pages behind it.There is no scoring and no recommendation. The goal is simpler: help prospective franchisees understand what the documents say, what they do not say, and where further diligence may be useful.Includes one complimentary Clearly Workspace ($19 value) for continued franchise research.…
