How To Start Up A New Franchise

With thousands of new franchise concepts being started every year, it is nearly impossible to keep track of the freshest ideas. Here is an update of two new franchises and how they have fared in their first several months of franchising.

The Counter - No, this isn’t just another fast food hamburger joint. Besides serving hamburgers, The Counter has as much in common with your local McDonalds or Wendy’s as the World Cup has to do with your child’s weekend soccer game. First opened in Santa Monica in 2003, this trendy update to the classic burger joint serves its burgers with any combination of 10 cheeses, 26 toppings, and 17 sauces. So, go ahead and order that Danish Bleu Cheese Burger topped with dried cranberries and a ginger soy glaze you always wanted.

Since 2003, The Counter has received the type of press that most companies can only dream about. After being listed as one of the top 20 burgers in the country by GQ, the holy grail of endorsers, The Oprah Winfrey Show, named it the “Best Burger in the USA.” (An aside on the power of the O-nod, sales jumped from $44,000/mo to $245,000/mo after the endorsement)

With all of this success, The Counter did the only logical next step and began selling franchises in early 2006 with a $40,000 franchise fee and 6% royalty.

So how is it going? The company has already inked agreements for 60 restaurants in California alone. Next up is expansion into Florida, New York, Arizona and Nevada followed by the rest of the country. With long range projections of only 400 to 600 units, The Counter is well on its way to franchising stardom.

If Santa Monica and The Counter just seem too trendy and hip, this light equipment repair franchise from Wisconsin surely won’t. EQUIPRO, a subsidiary of Wacker Corporation began providing repair service to the light construction equipment industry in 2003. At the same time that the light equipment market is growing at nearly ten percent per year, many large equipment dealers have been cutting back on service support. In response to these trends, EQUIPRO began to build out its network of service centers.

They focuse on providing service for the following manufacturers: ICS, MI-T-M, MK Diamond, Sullair, and Wacker. The franchises are also full-service dealers for Honda, Briggs & Stratton, Robin/Subaru, Wacker and Kohler engines.

For each franchise, the company hires a Metro Service Specialist (MSS). They are hired on behalf of the franchisee to develop service sales and act as a liaison for their OEM partners in the local market. The responsibilities of the MSS include effectively calling on contractor offices and job sites, equipment and rental dealers, as well as national accounts to promote solutions for equipment repair and parts. In addition, they provide professional training on business operations and technical details both in the classroom and on-site.

Franchising since June 2005, new franchisees can expect to invest between $145,000 and $350,000. EQUIPRO has opened 12 service centers and plans on opening 33 units by the end of 2006 and 150 in the next seven years.

Questions about Wisconsin Robin

Can a 8hp Wisconsin robin fit on a go kart ?

Will a 8hp wisconsins robin fit on a go kart? It did come out of a power washer and it is horizontal shaft ..... Will it fit ?....and how do you remove anything from the shaft where the chains suppose to connect to?

the shaft should have a notch in it that holds a small piece of metal called the key. to get the drive sproket off the shaft, gently tap on the sprocket with a hammer on a large nail set or other blunt piece of metal as close to the shaft as you can, in the direction toward the motor. This will slide the sprocket over enough to reveal enough of the key so you can grip it with pliers and pull it out. If you do not have enough clearance to tap the sprocket, or it won't move with reasonable force, then consider taking it to a small engine Repair Shop to remove it
