Grab our breakdown of the 5 Low-Cost Businesses That Make $1 Million: https://www.franchiseempire.com/lowcost?utm_source=FEnov092025In this episode of The Franchise Empire Show, I sit down with Mark, a former Five Guys franchise owner who built and sold 13 locations before exiting for life-changing money. We break down exactly how he and his partners reverse-engineered their success, from starting with the end in mind to crafting a clear exit strategy before they even opened their first store.We also dive into the hidden side of franchise resales: why top brands like Five Guys almost never hit the open market, how existing franchisees scoop up neighboring locations, and what that means for you if you’re thinking about buying or selling a franchise. Mark shares the biggest lessons learned from his multi-unit journey, what to watch for in partnerships, and how to decide whether franchising is really for you.------------------Considering Investing In A Franchise?🔍 Request a Territory Check | Check territory availability here: http://www.franchiseempire.com/checkterritory?utm_source=FEnov092025🔄 Franchise Resales | Find existing businesses for sale: https://www.franchiseempire.com/resales?utm_source=FEnov092025------------------Ready to Build Your Empire?🚨 Join The #1 Community for Owning a Money-Making Franchise: https://www.skool.com/franchiseempirebuilders/about🚀 Franchise Buyers Academy - Speed up your journey with our step-by-step mini-course: https://www.franchiseempire.com/FBA?utm_source=FEnov092025💰 Get Business Grants From the Government: https://www.franchiseempire.com/bizgrants?utm_source=FEnov092025------------------Free Resources to Get You Started!Download our list of 42 High Performing (and profitable) Franchises: https://www.franchiseempire.com/42hpf?utm_source=FEnov092025Grab & understand 14 Franchise Buying Mistakes that could destroy your investment: https://www.franchiseempire.com/14fbm?utm_source=FEnov092025Watch our FREE Franchising Masterclass to find vet and launch for : https://www.franchiseempire.com/masterclass?utm_source=FEnov092025Download our FREE StarterKit: The Zero to Profitable Franchise in Less Than 12 Months Guide: https://www.franchiseempire.com/o-ztpf-guide?utm_source=FEnov092025------------------Get High Performing Franchises In Your Inbox Every Weekhttps://www.franchiseempire.com/newsletter?utm_source=FEnov072025------------------Chapters:00:00 – Intro00:55 – The History of Snap-On Tools02:45 – How the Mobile Tool Store Model Works04:10 – Franchise Startup Costs & Financing Options06:30 – How Snap-On Franchisees Make Money08:20 – Real Sales Data & Profit Margins10:15 – Is Snap-On Tools a Good Investment?My Most Popular Business Videos:https://youtu.be/EYBKoz68FUghttps://youtu.be/nJtAHaDYenA https://youtu.be/gpWQRflrtDY https://youtu.be/RPe2Sf6eL60 https://youtu.be/NpnFyXi4sAg https://youtu.be/U90fmdWhzCg https://youtu.be/fCLy6cc82Hw https://youtu.be/xQZkfQNkhqsLegal stuff we have to say!The information presented on this website is based on the most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) available for each franchise opportunity.
