Title: Franchisee Associations
Post by: hatler on 08 February, 2021, 04:44:20 pm

Bit of a longshot this, does anyone happen to know of the existence or contact details of any Franchisee Associations ?

A franchisee association is the body which represents the interests of the franchisee operator, ie the runners of the individually franchised businesses, not the Franchise owner (eg McDonalds).

Many thanks (as ever).

From working with a Franchise business way back when, I think you'll find that the franchisees have groups within their brand/business (e.g.  Fastsigns, Apollo Blinds, Pirtek ... etc) - I'm not aware of any umbrella/all-brands franchisee associations.   

From experience the franchisee groups tend to be formed as a result of complaints/poor service the members receive from the franchisor  (it certainly was where i worked, sometimes meetings were close to lynchings!)
