10th Multi-Unit Franchising Conference

past April. Plans are already under way for next year’s event which
promises to up the ante once again, April 24–26 at The Mirage in
Las Vegas. For a look back on the 2011 conference (including the
presentations) and a peek ahead to next spring’s conference, visit

Changing Tastes
Jeff Orlando, who operates Wingstop and Schlotzsky’s franchises,
remembers his first franchise experience in 1999 when he opened
the 10th store in the then-new Wingstop brand. “Everybody told me
I was crazy,” he recalls. “When we were growing up, nobody wanted
the wing—everybody wanted the drumstick. We threw the wings
away.” Obviously, things have changed, he says, as he anticipated
this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, the busiest day of the year for his
store. “Wings and sports just go together.” They sure do. www.
