I had a Radioshack franchise for several years. It was about as profitable as say - working for minimum wage as the new guy at a Quiznos... I've owned profitable independent operations before and since - RadioShack stinks....

I am running an internet franchise and I am absolutely enjoying it as it's completely portable and they are normally much cheaper than offline franchises.

You can contact me if you would like to find out more or go to my website.

I just realized I started this thread over a year and a half ago and someone bumped it :-) Lots of interesting stories on here. I'm heading into my 4th tax season and I'm thrilled with my franchise. I'm setting my sites on opening more locations - there is definitely economies of scale with multiple locations.

Congratulations! We always hear a lot of initial stories here, but barely ever hear how they ended up a couple of years down the track. Sounds like franchising has really worked for you!
