Let’s face it: franchising is HARD. The amount of brands who don’t make it past 25 units is higher than its ever been! Government regulations, private equity investment, financial implications and higher barriers to entry all play a role. We’ve seen countless brands arrogantly enter the space; thinking they’ll be the next big thing. The reality? Few are able to catch lightning in a bottle for one reason: they get REALLY bad advice. With Franchise Springboard, we want to give all emerging and re-emerging brands a fighting chance, just like our host city’s symbol of “grit”, Rocky Balboa, did.
Over the course of 3 days, we give the underdogs and the also-rans the opportunity to learn from the champions of our industry, to rub shoulders with them in the hallways and to socialize with them at our evening events. We hope this event also gives you the “Eye Of The Tiger” and helps take your brand to the next level!
