What fun! While puttering about in the Startups section of Entrepreneur magazine, I spotted a bunch of franchise opportunities for companies I didn't even realize were such a thing! For instance, there's actually a dental company that accepts franchisee applications! Did you know you can own a car rental business? What about a motorcycle dealership? How about a wine shop?
I always thought that these and others were corporate entities, merely branches of a "big dog" -- now I know better! I'll list just a few of the many unique franchises out there. Maybe one of them is right for you?
- Avis: Car rentals (this one is technically a "business opportunity, not a franchise", according to their ad. But you're still an "independent operator". Close enough for my classifications!)
- Yakety Yak Wireless Superstores
- Vital Dent Dentistry
- American IronHorse Motorcycles
- Merle Norman Cosmetic Studios
- WineStyles
- Two Men and a Truck (moving company)
Now remember, due diligence is necessary with any franchise or independent business operation. Do yours, and find something that works for you and feeds your passions!
