The math of franchise growth looks different than you'd think.
Most new franchisors imagine steady growth: 10 units a year, hit 50 in five years, simple. But successful systems follow a different pattern. They start small, get it right, then let momentum do the work.
That first franchisee you add to your FDD? They validate your system for the next one. Then those two validate for the next three. Each annual update builds credibility. It's not about speed early on. It's about creating a flywheel that accelerates naturally.
Tom breaks down why patience in year one and two pays off exponentially later.

$10,000 loan. Used ovens. A brother who needed work.
That's how Dominic DeFelice started DeFelice Brothers Pizza in 1982. He just wanted to make some money after getting laid off from a local mill.
Today, it's a 10-unit regional brand known for making everything fresh every single day. Their tomatoes are in the can six hours after picking. Their dough is made from scratch every morning. That attention to quality earned them "Best in the USA" at the World Pizza Championship in Italy.
But when Dominic hit five locations in 1990, regulations nearly shut down his expansion plans. The decision he made next opened the door to franchising nationwide.

Our first Halloween contest brought out some seriously good costumes. 🎃
We had categories for best overall, funniest, scariest, most creative/original, best group or duo, plus a trivia round that got competitive fast. The entries ranged from hilarious to genuinely spooky to impressively creative.
Teams that play together work better together. Nothing beats working with people who show up for the job and for moments like these. Here's to a team that knows how to balance deadlines with a good time.
Happy Halloween from all of us! 👻

We were in Orlando for the 48th Annual ABA Forum on Franchising and it was excellent! Three days of workshops, networking, and catching up with colleagues in the franchise law community.
From regulatory updates to international franchising challenges, there was a lot to absorb. We came away energized and ready to put new ideas into practice. Already looking forward to next year's forum!
