What Makes The Virginia Barbeque Restaurant Franchise Opportunity Different?
Running a barbeque restaurant franchise has to be a labor of love doesn't it? After all, you're working in the leisure industry so long anti-social hours has to be the name of the game.
Maybe this is what makes the Virginia Barbeque restaurant franchise opportunity different from most. Founded by Richard Ivey over 10 years ago, Richard had the dream of creating a business that would not only “make him” but also provide something that he could share with others. Within the franchise model there are strict hours of opening and they are from 11.00 – 21.00 so from a lifestyle perspective, there's time for other things.
The initial franchise fee is $25,000 and the franchise fee is 6% of revenue (excluding sales taxes) and you're expected to spend about 2% on advertising and local marketing.
In return for this you get a two week training course, aid in securing finance and support in most other key areas such as marketing, procurement, right through to floor layout and process equipment layout. Site support and construction advice are also available which when coupled with the marketing support will ensure that you chose the right location to successfully capture your local market.
I guess it's fundamental when thinking about setting up a barbeque restaurant it's vital that you have belief in the product that you're going to market and on that basis probably the best place to start is to taste the food. So if you're thinking of setting up a franchise then give Virginia Barbeque a taste and see what you think.
If you then become serious then don't take my word for it, check the franchise offer directly and in detail at the Virginia Barbeque website.
