Did you know Franchise Interviews started off as a newsletter? Thanks to technology, the hosts at GoogleLM review one of our first newsletter interview with Roy Hibberd.  The interview with franchise expert and attorney Roy Hibberd focuses on crucial advice for prospective franchisees. Hibberd emphasizes the importance of self-reflection to assess whether one is suited for entrepreneurship, noting that owning a franchise requires a 24/7 commitment. He also highlights that franchisees must often wear many hats, as they lack the same support found in corporate environments. Hibberd discusses franchise brokers, noting that while some brokers provide valuable guidance, others may push certain franchises due to commission incentives. He advises thorough research and diligence, encouraging prospective franchisees to speak with both current and former franchisees to gain insights into the system. Additionally, Hibberd stresses the value of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) as a critical tool for making informed decisions. He encourages franchisees to consult franchise experts for deeper evaluations of the systems they are considering. Finally, Hibberd explains that some elements of franchise agreements are negotiable, contrary to popular belief, particularly in smaller or newer franchise systems.

According to the National Day Calendar, National Frozen Yogurt Day is observed on February 6th to celebrate a delicious frozen dessert that has transitioned from a trend to a common freezer item over the past few decades. The sales of frozen yogurt continue to rise annually, driven by people seeking a healthier alternative to ice cream. The surge in popularity can be attributed to the wide variety of flavors and toppings available for frozen yogurt.  #NationalFrozenYogurtDay The Story of Yogurt In 1970, H.P. Hood introduced the first frozen yogurt in the United States, initially named Frogurt and served as a soft-serve treat. Subsequently, Humphreys and Dannon also launched their versions of frozen yogurt. The 80s witnessed a substantial increase in its popularity, largely due to its perceived status as a "health food" option. Ice cream manufacturers adapted by offering low-fat alternatives. Today, frozen yogurt is experiencing a resurgence as consumers develop a preference for its tangy yogurt flavor. It has become a common treat not only found in household freezers but also enjoyed as a sweet indulgence after work or play. In today's session, we'll be featuring clips from past interviews about the Yogurtland, Menchies and 16 Handels story.
