Discovering the Impact
Franchising is a method of distributing products and services that involves a franchisor who lends their trademark and business system to a franchisee who, in return, pays a royalty for the right to use the franchisor’s trademark and system in their business.
Franchised businesses operate in all 50 States, the District of Columbia and in every Congressional District. Jobs and payrolls in franchised businesses were greatest in California, Texas, Florida and Illinois in 2005. Relative to the size of each state-wide economy, franchising had the greatest impact on jobs and payrolls in Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Mississippi. Franchising accounted for the largest share of state output in Nevada, Arizona and Florida.
