Franchise Interviews Meets With Scott Mortier, President of Franchise Whales

We are meeting with Scott Mortier, President of The Franchise Whales and EVP of Business Development at Froots.  With a combined 35-plus years’ experience in franchising, David Lopez and Scott Mortier have launched a franchise incubator to help new, emerging and existing franchises strengthen various areas of their businesses.  Called The Franchise Whales, the franchise incubator supports independent businesses interested in developing a franchise model, emerging franchisors who want to propel their business forward and established franchisors looking to strengthen their existing systems.    We will also discuss how Froots and Gyroville partnered to blend their expertise.  Froots is a healthy alternative to traditional fast food fare, providing a variety of great tasting options including all-natural smoothies, energy shakes, fresh-squeezed juices, sandwiches, wraps, paninis, salads, soups and more.  Gyroville was created in 2010 to bring Mediterranean cuisine to the fast-casual market. Gyroville starts by using only the freshest ingredients and prepares them using recipes that combine old-school, Greek traditions with a modern day twist. The concept allows customers to follow their choice of protein from the grill or vertical spit through an assembly line process, where they choose from fresh ingredients and homemade sauces.   In part 2, we play a clip from our Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.  This week, the great Michael Gerber celebrated his 80th birthday.  We play a clip of our interview with Michael.
