Own a Profitable Dollar Store Business
Unlike some franchises, which offer a lot of advantages to the franchisee, the dollar store franchise companies are basically set up companies. They put up stores, provide a list of suppliers and leave their franchisees pretty much on their own. Dollar store franchise companies charge franchise fees and royalties without providing advertising campaigns, name recognition and quality standards like other franchise companies.
Perhaps the biggest problem facing dollar store franchises is the royalties that they must pay on items sold. The Royalty fees (usually ranging from 3% to 6%) restrict franchisees from buying higher priced, popular items. This can have the effect of lowering the quality of the merchandise in these stores and making them inferior to the non franchised stores.
