oh you need to find a thread on here posted years ago where a webmaster named Hershie or Heshie posted a very informative post on a similar thread to this where somebody asked about buying a franchise.

He was the master franchise owner of Dunkin Donuts in a city in upstate New York, think Syracuse or Rochester. His post made owning franchises look like the most horrible way of life imaginable. I think he even said he had a heart attack at about 40 because of all the stress running the franchises. I forget what he said about the money he made but whatever it was it wasn't worth it.

Many of the quality franchises require that the owner actually works in the store. This guy Heshie said the employees were the worst part of it - if the guy who was supposed to bake the donuts at 5AM flaked or was sick, guess who has to go down to the store and do it - the owner.

I've always heard when it comes to Subway franchises you need several to make a good living.
