Find the Economic Impact of Franchising Discovering the Impact
Franchising is a method of distributing products and services
that involves a franchisor who lends their trademark and
business system to a franchisee who, in return, pays a royalty
for the right to use the franchisor’s trademark and system in
their business. Franchised businesses operate in all 50 States,
the District of Columbia and in every Congressional District.
The number of jobs in franchised businesses in 2007 was greatest
in California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio. The number of
jobs provided because of franchised businesses was greatest in
California (1,852,200), Texas (1,352,000), Florida (1,111,900),
Illinois (819,400), and New York (784,300). Considered relative
to the size of a state’s economy, franchising had the greatest
impact on jobs in Mississippi. More on the Economic Impact
