Of the 2,600 franchise brands that we see actively franchising, more than half of them could be characterized as "young" -- that is, franchising for 10 years or less. As a supplier trying to market to franchising, this is good news. Younger systems have more needs and fewer preferred vendor relationships already established.

Now is your opportunity to gain early access and marketing advantages to young brands by subscribing to the quarterly New Concept Report (NCR).
