Welcome to our FRANCHISE DEPT
For over 35-years, our twice-weekly Developers & Chains publication has been reporting on new and growing retail and restaurant companies. As a subscription-only publication with a subscriber-base that is largely real estate oriented, our editorial direction tends to be of a retail/restaurant expansion nature.
Simply put, Developers & Chains is designed to serve the real estate/expansion needs of our subscribers, who for the most part, are seeking, leasing, or buying locations. Quite often the reports published in Developers & Chains include franchise chains that are sourcing locations. And as franchise concepts, those same companies continue to seek franchisees, operators and investors.
As we’ve observed in previous economic downturns and market adjustments, an increase in job losses have traditionally resulted in an upsurge in business startups and a growing interest in franchises.

Being a retail/restaurant-type publication, the increasing number of enquiries, both to the publication and the website, that we have received over the past months would suggest that again, there are a large number of people that want to take charge of their own future…………..they want their own business.
D&C’s Franchise Dept has been introduced to assist both the franchise companies in their search for franchisees as well as the franchisees in their search for a suitable franchise.
For the foreseeable future, the D&C’s Franchise Dept page will contain information on various ‘bricks & mortar’ franchise companies with what they are planning and what they require. These reports, along with franchise related news and information, will be changing on a regular basis.
