Lookin to invest in a franchsie or possibly buy ...

Check Coldstone Creameries. I've heard great things from investors in that group and their support for franchises.

 

It's not a franchise,but swingtrading it in the BLUE CHIPS over the second half should bear fruit.

 

Yeah, too bad their ice cream is terrible!

 

wireless toyz is another option you could look at.

if you contact the houston area representative, tell him Ben Chot sent you.

 

i'm a marble slab devotee...but i think coldstone is pretty good. but from what i've seen, coldstone is a cash cow.

or buy a car wash. probably more expensive...the big investement is the land. but you'll make your money back in a year...and be turning money over and over for years to come.

 

Washington Nationals are selling for 350,000,000 I think.

 

I agree, I had heard so many great things about them and then went and tried it over in Memphis and it wasn't the greatest, I mean I would've rather had Bryer's from Kroger than spend $5 on that 4 ozs of ice cream.

I have had a tough time finding a better ice cream than Shake's.

 

That's some money your talking about....how about a few bucks for your beloved Clutch?

 

They are VERY popular in Austin. In Texas, Jimmy John's is only in Austin and Dallas, not Houston...yet.

FRANCHISE INFORMATION

 

A Pluckers in Houston would be awesome.

There's one in Dallas now.

 

200 grand and not a contributing member?

 

Buy a suite at the Toyota Center.

 

a white castle in houston. that would be insane.

 

Look into one of the pretzel shops in the malls (Auntie Ann's I think is one name). Pretty small investment and decent returns I've heard (food cost is liek 15% vs. teh traditional 30% at a lot of places, but not sur ehow much volume here is).

Just an idea.

 

slandballa.. yeah there is a Jimmy Johns across the street from Vanderbilt too in Nashville..

Seems like a good type place to put across from a University.

 

Open a Freebird's in North Houston...near willowbrook or the woodlands (probably better in the woodlands since there aren't many taqueria's up there). I'd personally drive 20 minutes for freebirds.
