I have so many questions I would like to ask you: Did you encounter any unforeseen costs when you were first starting up your franchise? Did you have trouble fitting into the franchise mold? How much say did you have in the location of your store? In its size? How long did it take you to start making a profit? How many hours a week do you work? Do you have any costs that are not covered by the franchise fee? How do you calculate royalty and advertising fees? How much say do you have in choosing suppliers? Do Subway's advertising programs satisfy your needs? How much did Subway help you in the beginning?
As a potential franchisee, I am investigating Subway operations. Can you help me answer some of these questions? With your experience, you can provide the kind of information I need. Can you help me? I would be so grateful. You can reach me at (918) 555-9983, day or evening. My mobile phone is (918) 555-8838.
