Approaching a Chain Restaurant for Development
I live in a semi-rural area outside a medium-sized city, and I see a parcel for sale that would be great for a chain restaurant (a sit-down place). I have no interest or expertise in running or managing a restaurant, but I would like to learn about leasing them a location, building a building or something along those lines. Do most of them franchise? Who do you talk to about a possible new location? Do they buy or lease? Build themselves? If someone could point me to somewhere I could learn about these topics, I would appreciate it.
