Great entrepreneurs build great organizations. They
possess a knack for making smart business decisions,
building great teams, and creating successful companies.
But as we’ve learned from years of interviewing successful
multi-unit franchisees, they’ve also struggled, doubted, and
made more than a few mistakes—yet they’ve soldiered on,
persevered, and ultimately come out on top. To provide a
deeper sense of their journeys, insights, and personalities,
we’re selecting franchisees from our most inspiring print
interviews and creating a new series of online videos of
these franchisee leaders—who we call Empire Builders.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX
“It was our first outlet and space for
everything was an issue. So I said, ‘Why
can’t we run nine separate concepts out
of the same kitchen with one GM?’ A few
of my franchise friends had a fit, because
it had never been done before, but after I
explained that it would not interfere with
their menus and concepts, we were able
to get it done.”
—Jack Hough on his ‘aha’ moment that led to a
successful non-traditional franchising empire
