Crunch and Munch is the country's favorite fast-food vendor of fried chicken

Over the years, the company has diversified into providing a larger variety of snacks like hot dogs, burritos, and burgers, but consumers still consider it the best seller of fried chicken. Many potential investors have approached Crunch and Munch with offers to buy the company, but Crunch and Munch continues to operate through its stores. What is franchising? Why would franchising be a good contractual system for Crunch and Munch?


A franchise is a contractual association between a manufacturer, wholesaler, or service organization and an independent businessperson who buys the right to own and operate one or more units within the franchise system. The main difference between franchise organizations and other contractual systems (voluntary chains and retail cooperatives) is that franchise systems are normally based on some unique product or service; a method of doing business; or the trade name, goodwill, or patent that the franchisor has developed. Franchising has been prominent in fast-food restaurants, motels, health and fitness centers, auto sales and service dealerships, and real estate agencies. Since Crunch and Munch enjoys the position of being a favorite among consumers, franchising is a good tool to capitalize on its reputation without losing its identity.
