A family business, built one restoration job at a time.

Meet Jerral and Chrystal Ingle, owners of a PuroClean franchise in Fort Payne, AL.

Two Olympic-level athletes. One shared love of yoga. Seven studios across three states.

Audrey Ryder and Toni King traded a rowing career and a black belt in Taekwondo for life as YogaSix franchise owners, and their journey is anything but ordinary. On this week's episode of From A to Franchisee, they open up about the due diligence process that almost sent them down a completely different path (yes, an episode of Undercover Boss played a role), how they split the workload as co-owners, and their honest take on running a business with your spouse.

If you've ever wondered what it really takes to scale a boutique fitness franchise, this conversation is worth your time. 🎧

"You wouldn't let a newborn stay home alone. Why would you leave your new business alone?"

That's the advice from Christa Mruz, who owns two Two Maids Franchising franchises with her husband Javier in New York and Connecticut. Nine years in and 26 employees later, she's learned that a franchise needs your attention at every stage, not just the launch.

Her advice for anyone considering franchise ownership: nurture the business, give it what it needs to grow, and don't expect to ever fully "have it figured out."

She started as a secretary answering phones for $2 an hour. Seventeen years later, she owned the business.

Tam Kennedy now runs six Taco John's locations across Minneapolis and St. Paul, and on this week's episode of From A to Franchisee, she gets real about what it actually takes to build a franchise business: the sacrifice, the risk, and why "date around" before you commit to a brand.

Her advice for anyone thinking about franchise ownership? Surround yourself with people who'll tell you the truth, and don't fall for the first brand that gives you butterflies.

Panera Bread built a loyal following on warm baguettes and broccoli cheddar soup, but owning a franchise means a very different kind of investment: up to $4.65M and a $7.5M net worth requirement. 🍞💰

We broke down the real cost of Panera Bread ownership, plus five fast-casual alternatives with a much lower barrier to entry.

Curious if Panera (or something else) is worth your investment?
