I've always been skeptical of the cost of buying a franchise business. Obviously it's popular so maybe there's something I'm missing, but it's hard to see the added value that's worth $1.2 million. You get some name recognition and ads, but how much is that really worth in the end? I think I'd rather take my chances and start up independently and aim for a good local reputation.
