It's not on there but if I could open a Qdoba franchise I would do it in a nano-second. Qdoba is a fleshed out version of Chipotle with a larger menu. The crowds that this place draws are amazing the food quality is top notch and servings are large, just the way our American waist-line likes it.

I would also consider opening a subway. Operation costs for a subway are really low so you could opt for a more risky location and save on lease costs.

 

IIRC Starbucks owns all their stores.

 

that's why they call Aaron "problem child"

 

i think each subway store only makes about $50k net (on average) which means you have to have multiple locations (which is obviously smart).... but most of the locations are gone.....and I think local owners get first dibs on any new locations.....

Then they try to sell their old locations to some sucka....... then open the new location about 40 yards away and put that guy out of business.

 

^ the people I know own 3...for the reasons you said

 

If you're looking to bring something new to the Houston area, i would pick Carl's Jr out of that list since that's something new over here. 2 other choices that would do even better would be: In & Out Burger, Whitecastle.

 

I would go for the Camilles Sidewalk Cafe as that seems to be the crap that people go for regardless of quality of food.

I personally don't think that qdoba has near the quality of Food of chipolte. There is more selection, but it's a bland version of chipotle.

 

And I have to say, stick any type of upscale sandwhich shop in the middle of yuppieville and watch it flourish as people are always looking for an alternative to burger fast food.

 

exactly what i was thinking

 

None. They all serve processed crap.

Start your own business/eatery with your own ideas and have other's come to you for a franchise.
