On Franchise Associations & Advisory Councils:
Over the two decades, franchisee associations have become a mainstay of the franchise community. Much like the development of labor unions in this country, franchise systems have witnessed the development and rise of franchisee associations as a powerful vehicle of franchisee representation and negotiation. While large franchise systems have co-existed with franchisee associations for decades, such associations were traditionally unusual for smaller franchises.”
