An Area Representative is a franchise growth coach and mentor, not just a single-unit owner. You will:
- Own and oversee a region with the rights to open multiple locations and recruit franchisees.
- Earn ongoing income from a share of royalty and franchise fees collected in your area.
- Support local franchisees in your territory with coaching, guidance, and localized growth strategies.
- Act as a bridge between the franchise brand and franchisees, helping them stay on track and succeed.
- Think of it as franchise ownership at scale, with revenue potential that grows as you grow your region.
