If the nearest is 1,000 miles away how will the people in your town know about your outlet being part of a group? A Franchise is only as strong as its name and if the nearest is that sort of distance it will have little if any pulling power.
You are restricted to what you can buy, how you can promote, what you can sell, your buying price and your selling price, then you will find that all sorts of other restrictions start coming into place, and the guys that are controlling your local business are thousands of miles away and have no idea about your client base.
With $200,000.00 yo can open your own place, have control of your costs, and you create a kick ass menu at a price that is guaranteed to pull clients in. Make it quirky, make it memorable, terrific service, and cleints wil come back. Then once you have a winning combination you create your own franchise.
