Franchising a restaurant is one of the most fulfilling and exciting investments you can make. The thrill of watching patrons pour into your restaurant is rivaled only by the exhilaration of counting your numbers after yet another successful day of serving your local community.
Few restaurant chains offer better value for franchisees than Cottage Inn. For more than 65 years, Cottage Inn has been exceeding its customers’ expectations when it comes to friendly service and delicious food. We have a fiercely loyal customer base, an evolving marketing strategy, and an ever-expanding menu featuring everything from gourmet pizza and crispy calzones, to gluten free sandwiches and rich desserts.
Here are 7 reasons you should invest in a Cottage Inn franchise:
Branding and Image
Since 1948, Cottage Inn has been synonymous with signature gourmet pizzas. We operate more than 40 stores and franchises in Michigan and Ohio, dishing out pizzas, sandwiches and more to a diverse clientele, and proving time and time again that great taste has universal appeal! We’ve worked hard to cultivate our premium image, which gives Cottage Inn an undeniable space in the crowded pizza market.
Marketing
One of the main advantages of owning a franchise is assistance with marketing. Your franchise will benefit from Cottage Inn’s corporate marketing strategy, highlighted by our new corporate and franchisee websites, innovative loyalty program, online ordering, and emerging social media presence. You can still market your franchise independently, but having that built-in customer acquisition machine will allow you to allocate your time and money on other parts of your business.
Risk Mitigation
Opening a franchise isn’t a risk-free endeavor. But the odds of your Cottage Inn franchise being successful, especially in comparison to other businesses, are relatively high. At Cottage Inn, we have a vested interest in our franchisees’ success and will be there to support you with whatever you need, including financing.
Turnkey Business
Cottage Inn has a proven business model that’s worked for 66 years and counting. There’s no need to invent or reinvent the wheel. Simply follow our recipe and rake in the dough. In other words, just turn the key and you’ll get where you want to go. We are happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Purchasing Power
When starting a new business, costs can accumulate in a hurry. Unless you have very deep pockets, the costs can be crippling and squeeze the life out of your business before you can cut yourself a single check. At Cottage Inn, we have the purchasing power to handle many of the expenses that suffocate businesses in their early stages, giving your franchise the breathing room it needs to succeed.
Expansion
Buying a franchise will put you in a prime position to grow within the system and become a multi-unit franchise owner. Opening a second business…and a third…and a fourth…is easy by comparison and a great way to boost your income.
It’s Fun!
Cottage Inn has an outstanding Leadership Team to work with. Imagine waking up every morning and driving to a job that you actually enjoy. Owning a franchise can be exhausting and stressful, sure, but it definitely beats a desk job. You get to be your own boss, hire your own staff and create your own hours. Plus, you get to be part of a dynamic work environment while overseeing the creation of a product that brings a smile to people’s faces. Ask anyone who’s been there, and they will tell you: There’s no better way to earn a living than as a successful entrepreneur.
