After all was said and done, if we ran it ourselves and made the same as the previous owner, we would have made only a couple thousand a month profit. If we hired a manager, we would break even at best.

Make sure you look at all of the costs before you sign up...
not to mention that in every franchise agreement i've ever looked at the franchisor can/will make you re-model the store every 5-7 years. they want a new look and you are forced to pay for it.
