The people who buy franchises and then bitch and sue over having to buy their products/ingredients from the franchisor are morons - that's the whole concept of the franchise industry. They don't hide that fact from potential franchisees.

A franchise can't compete quality wise with a mom and pop independent restaurant - they're trying to get ingredients as cheap as possible, and then distribute them to their franchisees - means lower quality ingredients, lots of frozen and pre-prepared stuff - while the mom and pop has his local suppliers of fresh ingredients.

The grocery stores around me make a better sandwich at their deli counter than Subway.

I really wanted to try the fast food biz - I wanted to do fresh cooked French Fries stands - retro looking free standing little kiosks in the shape of a french fries container like the red McDonalds french fries packages, located in corners of parking lots of malls, gas stations in high traffic areas. French fry trucks here make an absolute fortune. When the smell of hot frying fresh french fries is in the air people can't resist. I wouldn't need much space from a gas station, just a corner of their property - and for them it would be a few grand a month of found money. Construction/equipment costs wouldn't be that expensive and french fries have to be one of the highest markup items in the fast food industry - potatoes, salt, vinegar, gravy, chili, gravy.
