The conversation that built it

The franchisee signs the franchise agreement. The franchisor reviews and approves the site. If the site is not approved, the franchisee finds a new site. If the site is approved, the buildout begins. The franchisee completes training. An inspection checks the location. If the inspection fails, the franchisee fixes the issues. If it passes, the soft open runs for a week. Then the grand opening happens.
