CASE STUDY: Pokéworks System Development and Sales
OVERVIEW: In January of 2016 Pokéworks had a successful 800 square foot location in Midtown Manhattan that they felt could be franchised. In April that same year they turned to SL Franchise Group for our full compliment of new franchise system development services.
RESULTS: With the assistance of SL consulting, market-ready positioning, operations and sales teams, the well-prepared brand became the leading brand in the poké space and within 2 years, had sold 93 units. More impressively, in that second year TORIDOLL Holdings Corporation purchased a 40% interest in the parent company Beyond Franchise Group for a reported $18 million. As of the 4 year mark, Pokéworks had grown to 185 franchise units under contract and 50+ operating locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
