Background of the Study
The franchise business model involves a contractual relationship between a franchisor and a franchisee, where the franchisee operates a business using the franchisor's brand, systems, and support. In the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry, franchising enables businesses to expand rapidly while maintaining consistency and brand identity (Adewale & Yusuf, 2024).
In Kaduna State, the QSR industry has experienced growth driven by urbanization and changing consumer preferences. Franchising has played a significant role in this growth, providing entrepreneurs with established business models and operational support. However, challenges such as high franchise fees, compliance issues, and market competition persist (Okoro & Hassan, 2023).
This study explores the franchise business model in the context of QSRs in Kaduna State, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and impact on business performance.
Statement of the Problem
While franchising offers significant advantages, many QSRs in Kaduna State struggle with high costs, strict franchisor requirements, and market competition. The effectiveness of the franchise model in addressing these challenges and driving business success remains underexplored (Bello & Yakubu, 2025).
This study assesses the franchise business model, providing insights into its applicability and impact on the QSR industry in Kaduna State.
