Franchise Night

The Dalton-Whitfield County Joint Development Authority is partnering with Jimmy John’s and Papa Murphy’s to host a franchise seminar for the Dalton-Whitfield community. The seminar, known as Franchise Night, is ideal for anyone considering franchising of a food-based business. While Dalton’s retail landscape contains a strong mix of national and regional tenants, as well as successful locally owned and one-of-a-kind stores, there is room and opportunity for others.

The Joint Development Authority approached both companies about opening their first Dalton area franchises. Both Jimmy John’s and Papa Murphy’s have serious interest but lack a franchisee capable of opening a new location. The solution is collaboration between the Joint Development Authority, Jimmy John’s and Papa Murphy’s to match potential business owners with this unique opportunity.

Representatives from Jimmy John’s and Papa Murphy’s will be on hand to discuss the advantages of owning a franchise as well as covering topics such as start-up assistance, franchisee training, and financial and marketing tips. There is no fee to attend this seminar.

Each company is seeking highly-qualified individuals to become franchisees. Prior business experience, coupled with personal financial qualifications, individual motivation and a track record of success are important factors in the evaluation process. If you are interested in pursuing development opportunities as a franchisee, attend Franchise Night on Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. in the Holiday Inn at 879 College Drive in Dalton. Those interested are encouraged to RSVP due to limited seating.
