Store franchise businesses are the backbone of the franchise world. The options are endless, UPS store franchise, a shoe store franchise and the ubiquitous dollar store franchise are the most familiar. Other options include, golf, gift & book, pet stores and vitamin and health food.
You are correct for the most part, in a store franchise the customers come to you and thus phone solicitation is generally minimal. The flip side is you must have the right location. It doesn’t matter the power of the brand or the inherent value, if the location is bad, your dollar store franchise, UPS store franchise or your shoe store franchise will struggle if the traffic is not there. A store franchise is best for someone who likes the stability of a fixed location and doesn’t mind the hours. If you can find a line of business you love, golf, unique gifts, pets, flowers, health food, books or vitamins then you can enjoy the work and the business can be fun. Specialty stores like sewing & embroidery or convenience stores are also options.
Inventory control is the key for most store franchise concepts although some feature service such as a UPS store franchise. In a dollar store franchise, or shoe store franchise, for example you better have a knack for watching the product and stocking the right mix of inventory.

So, can you own a store franchise and be successful without making a lot of telephone calls?

The customers will for the most part come to you; however location and merchandising are keys to the success of your shoe store franchise, dollar store franchise or your UPS store franchise. Just as important, pick something you love (is it gifts, books, pets, golf or vitamins and health food) and your chance of success will be multiplied.
