On Multi-Unit Moguls:
“Recent years have witnessed tremendous growth in the number of units owned by franchisees that own more than one franchise business/location (multi-unit operators). The growth story has never been more prominent than with the rising share of franchised units controlled by large multi-unit operators, i.e. those that own more than 50 units. These “multi-unit moguls” have taken their multi-unit ownership a step further, growing beyond an area of three-to-five units to run a small empire, often far more, across districts, sometimes even across states.”
