Question about food franchises

[TheSiege]

Having a white castle on the west would = money in the bag
and having more in and outs would mean more money

how come these places dont expand more?

i mean its almost a guaranteed money maker.

i wish there were more in the midwest... time to go to the bank!

 

[FoBoT]

more? :Q

i think there are plenty

Well, I would assume the costs associated with opening up a new venture, penetrating a new market in the case of regional shops, possibility of a failing business, various market density in an area (do we really need a white castle in town if there's a McD, BK, Wendys, Hardees, etc. already here?) vs. potential for success.

in and out is specific to the southwest, white castle to the east. i think its more then just demographics

I saw an In and Out burger in southern Michigan...next time I saw it (~6 mo later it was closed....)

Some places dont like rapid growth....it can be very dangerous to keep up that quick momentum...latest example is Krispy Kreme
